They suffer from two things: * Engineering genius * A serious case of NIH Syndrome (Not Invented Here) Basically Canon is very reluctant to work with other companies. They don't contract their lenses or bodies out to other companies to manufacture (unlike Nikon or Minolta) and they don't like other companies producing lenses in EF mount, going to ends to break compatibility. It's disappointing, really. Karen http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/ http://www.photoethnography.com/blog/ --
