What about primes? The EF 24/2.8, 28/2.8, 35/2, and 35/1.4 seem at least as good in resolution and probably better in distortion than the zooms. I know that many people prefer convenience of zooms, even after trade offs in performance. But I find myself slowly dumping my zooms and returning my to primes, as I do more precise work ( I got started 25 years ago with a Canon AE-1 and 50/1.4). With print film, I still love my 28-135 IS for casual work, and might eventually replace it with a new Tamron 28-300 XR just for fun. But its hard to beat a prime for optical quality. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
