On my side I will keep my EOS gear (BTW, I bought yesterday an EOS3 to replace my EOS50 :-) and not swith to R system, because I like AF with tele. On the other hand, I will never replace my M gear by some Canon lenses covering the 21-135 range, except one zoom or lens to use with flash and for my wife. I will probably soon buy a 28-70 2.8 or 28-135 IS or only a 50 1.4 to replace my current low-end zoom. 85% of pic are taken with one of my 2 Ms the other 12% with the 300mm and the remaining with flash. Regards, logan. >From: Steve Beyer <leica@beyerphoto.com> >Reply-To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us >To: "leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us" <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> >Subject: Re: [Leica] Leica R >Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 20:59:28 -0400 > >Hi Logan, > I have the 300 2.8 IS lens and I would say it is on par with the Leica >lenses.
