I'm getting rid the 30D and lens since I don't even touch it anymore. At work I used a Kodak DCS 560, EOS 10D, 30D, 1D, 1Ds, and 5D Mk II, but the Fuji is my favorite digital camera ever. I just love the small, rectangular shape (like an M3) and never want a camera with a hump again. I don't have anything but legacy lenses. -- Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amagayneroshak at gmail.com <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/> "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
