Good you mention this. In the Canon Lens Work II book they tell you that nowadays the lenses are much smaller than they used to be in FD days. The example given is the 35-105mm zoom which is indead smaller in FD that in EF. However all the lenses I checked: 14mm L 24mm/1.4, 50mm/1.4, 85mm/1.2 135mm/2.0 are bigger and heavier. Plus the number of diaphragm blades is now sometimes lower. -- Pawel Nabe Business: +49 / 30 / 245 54 920 PaN Super Sonic Software Service Private: +49 / 30 / 447 33 452 expert for hi tech & low budget Mobile: +49 / 171 / 267 54 63 * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
