<snip> So, my advice is basically the same as others -- make the transition gradually. You may very well end up with one foot in each "world" (MF/AF), and there's nothing wrong with that. Do the hokey-pokey!

Canon owners cannot, since they have had 5 different and largely incompatible lens mounts since 1960. When talking to novices, I always use this as my strongest argument against Canon. I firmly believe that Canon treats their customers poorly, what with a new lens mount appearing every 8-10 years. This means that: 1. You cannot use existing lenses on new bodies. 2. The resale value of old lenses is zilch. Long Live the F-mount! Colin
