Also note, that f/1.8 is quite a bit faster than f/2.8. You shouldn't compare at different apertures. A fair comparison would be both lenses at f/2.8. The 50/1.0L is for sure a lot less sharp at f/1.0 than any consumer zoom at f/3.5. ;-) Thomas Bantel * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
