A friend of mine had the 3265. It was totally destroyed by impact from a football. So was the Eos3 and the lens. The joys of sports shooting. Up till then, he seemed satisfied with it and I didn't hear of any problems. I was suprised that it turned out to be so fragile. > > Also, the lens I'm going to use is going to be mounted via tripod collar- > are Manfrotto plates the only compatible plates?
