Picking the proper lens for your 5D

Canon doesn't make a 200/2.0, so for some that actually may make sense. Of course, with stop down metering and manual focus, you won't enjoy the "Nikon experience". David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan

A better solution would be to find a used Canon 200 f/1.8L. http://www.tanchung.com/images/canon...200mmf18xu.jpg

My newbie-to-35mm-ness is showing: I just checked the current lens list. I suspect, though, that the lens in that photo is also an older lens: the current 200/2.0 is a VR lens that'll set you back US$4000 or so. (Now that's an interesting question: I wonder if VR Nikkors work as VR with an adaptor on a Canon. Probably not, since I'd guess the adaptor doesn't provide power to the lens.) David J.
