I imagine it's because fast, wide-angle lenses are hard to come by. If you are shooting the increasingly popular 1.6x crop factor body, then you want something in the 20-35 range to get a decent semi-wide in low light. I myself would love a 35/1.4 (if that's what it is), as I'd love something for available light that wasn't as close as 80mm effective, but it's a heck of a lot more than $80 :) -/\/ * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
