Hi Ken, Canon had an opportunity to rectify the EOS/FD incompatibility when they released the Digital REBEL / EOS 300D / Digital KISS with its cantilever back-flipping mirror. If they had machined the EF-S body with a shorter distance (e.g by 6mm) from flange-to-sensor than the EF mount, they could have supplied a 6mm extension EF-S to EF adapter tube. At the same time, they could have opened the market for an EF-S to FD Adapter. (Or EF-S to nearly every other 35mm camera mount). A huge marketing advantage. Opportunity lost :-( Cheers Julian Loke * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
