It's funny you mentioning this "gap". I had already though of it, since I'll be moving to digital by the end of the year. Unfortunately, your experience proved that my worries are founded. Nikon produces an 18-70/3.5-4.5 for digital cameras only. Maybe Canon will follow some day. * *** *

I second this request. When shooting film, I found a 28-135 is a great one lens on the camera when going light was required. Otherwise, I would take a 28-70 and 100-400 is. With the 10D, nothing provides this general use coverage. I would love a digital only 28-105(135) coverage, at a constant F

Well, this is just an observation (own Canon and Olympus), but if that is your big need, pick up an Olympus E-1 and the 14-54mm lens. It is easily midrange L quality(prefer it to 28-70L and 17-40L, but prefer 24-70L over it) and covers the 28-108mm F2.8-3.5 range with the crop. It is tough as nai

After two weeks in Japan and Beijing shooting with my ?10d, I've come to the realization that the lens I most need doesn't exist. I shot mostly with my 17-35 L, and it worked well for probably 50% of my shots. For the long end I used the new 70-300 DO. (Initial impressions are positive, but I ne

I bought myself a 300D in October, and I'm on image number 239_3972. That is 13,972 pictures taken if I interpret the scheme correctly. I've had my camera lock up with the mysterious Error 99 once (with a Canon lens attached), and only had one image that was corrupted and unusable. On Fri, Jul 09
