The work shop was sponsored by Canon - Big Surprise - - So I got to play with all of the EOS-1 cameras and lenses. I will say I love the fast super teles for convenience and easy visualization when compared to the slower Telyt. I went home thinking of how I could convince my wife I needed to buy the 280/2.8 from Leica. ;-) Didn't Work, Darn. ;-( As a after note, George was quite impressed with the size of the 560, it is a long optic.
