Craig,
Thanks for the instant troubleshooting! :-) (and yeah, A2=EOS 5) I went to my local camera shop on my lunch hour today and they had a 70-200 IS in stock. (Finally!) So I tried it on the A2 with a 2x Mk II. And indeed, everything worked! AF and IS - even the outer focus points. This is very reassuring to find out first hand... but why would Canon tell me otherwise?? (would they be as shrewd as to try to get me to upgrade bodies so the lens, according to them, would then work?) Anyway... I'm a happy boy! And I'm getting this lens! -Green (p.s. I demo'd a D30 while I was there. The AF wasn't as bad as I feared it would be, given user reports on the web... but I'm used to an A2...) > Hi Green, > > Just tried combo, absolutely no problem with AF or IS > (Body serial # > 9006590). > > Now go buy one! > > Regards, > > Craig Z __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
