Hi Tina,
Yep the only way to go most of the time.:-)
Besides with the 20D I can be stopped down to f5.6 or 8 and still focus with 
very few misses or difficulties of seeing.

I had a look with the Leica 80mm 1.4 on a 5D and it's quite bright even 
stopped down a few stops.

But wide open it's amazing! Love it... yeah I think we'll see one along here 
shortly. ;-)
