Well, excuse me. So I was wrong, it isn't new.

Incidentally, Mr. Lepp wrote the preface for his "new" book in March
1997.

The Elan II and the A2 have both built in flash and focus assist light.
Or did you mean in one unit?

Ken,
What is the name of Lepp's new book?

I find it weird that there was a post here that lauded the EOS 5 for 1EV extra
sensitivity over then Elan 7, but then stated they wouldn't take low-light photos.
I was trying out my Elan 7 last night. I loaded my 50/1.8 II, set the ISO to 100 and
used Av mode at f/2.0. At that aperture and IS

That lens is a push-pull zoom... I personally hate push-pull because it tends to stick
a bit when trying to fine-tune the zooming.

Think'n 'bout buying one. Was, anyway, until discovery of an earlier (2yrs
earlier) FD version.
AF aside, are there any reasons to choose the EF version over the FD one? (I
have both systems)
Is the EF 100-300 5.6L still in production? If not, how long was it in
production (from 1987-??)?

Hi,
I've been following the discussion of the relative merits of the EOS 5
(A2) and EOS 30 (Elan 7) with great interest. I recently purchased an EOS
5 QD, having considered the Elan 7 and (briefly) the EOS 3 (very nice,
very very expensive, I'm a very poor photographer), so I thought I would

Let me correct myself, I made this statement only because I know that canon
has a tendency to put those two things (flash and assist) always together.

Very simple, 3 has no built-in flash either.

Just wondering, with all of the talk about the Elan7's AF assist light,
why the 3 doesn't have one. (an IR AF light, I mean) Is that not
considered a pro feature? That's one of the down-sides about upgrading
from my A2. The IR AF assist light really has helped me out a lot over
the years.

Hi
D1x is made by nikon and of course it won't take any canon lenses
directly...
let's just hope he won't become another Moose Peterson, who is a nikon
tester who does nothing but rave about the nikons he tried...

I really don't know if this needs saying, but also remember that
usually all the camera needs in order to acquire focus is some *edge*
between objects, some contrasty feature. 9 times out of 10 in low
light situations I can find a contrasty feature at the same or similar
distance as the subject,
Folks,
A little expansion from Andy Rouse on how he obtained the 70-200 IS:
'John, just so you know I paid for my lens, it was not a freebie, nor is
anything I get from Canon. In fact my relationship with them these days is
non-existant and at the moment am testing the D1x. '

Hi Gerry,
No one is disputing that the Elan 7E does not behave the
same as the Elan II in low light. Wh
