I find that the longer the lens the easier it is to focus. One advantage of the new 5D is that the focussing screen is user changeable - there are split screen finders available for the 20D, but they seem very fiddly to install. Perhaps one of the alternative 5D screens would make focussing easier at the wide end.

"WOW!! I forgot how big and bright it really is!" :-) Now I realize just how hard I've worked making sure the 20D + Leica manual lenses so they're crispy sharp. However, I've only had a few focus miscues using the Leicanon and R glass but when they're right on they are crispy bacon sharp! :-) My favourite Leica lens on the 20D? The 80-200 f 4.0! Yep, man it gives great separation and the sharpie parts are so sharp you can almost cut your finger getting the card out of the camera. ;-) Well OK use yer imagination. ;-) ted -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
