The reason I ask, is because supposedly the EF-S lenses are designed
specifically for the digital sensor size of the 300D and 20D, and it seems like this is the future for non-Pro Canon DSLR's. They do a 10-22 EF-S lens, and a 17-85 EF-S lens, I just wondered if they are planning on completing the range by making a 75-300 EF-S lens. I was thinking of buying a 75-300IS lens, but will hold out if they are planning to produce a EF-S version to keep it all matching as I don't use the telephoto much in the Winter. (Sad I know, but I don't want to waste money, and it is not very often I completely change my setup, so want to make the right choice). "Eric Gill" wrote in message 4...

There's much less size and weight to save. Also, when the lens already covers a narrow angle, you don't get to simplify the design much by making it even narrower. |

I think the logic for it is not the o 10-22 EF-S gets the 20D/300D wider than any other available lens o 17-85IS is the 1.6x version of their popular 28-135IS for film cameras These both fill a performance niche. A 70-300IS EF-S (which would really be a 45-190 or so based on doing a film equivalent 70-300) seems unwarrented. LOTS of lenses covering such ranges. Phil |

There is little-to-no reason for this, since telephoto is actually enhanced by the crop-factor. It is only the wide angle that becomes a problem with the smaller sensor size. Most users of long telephoto actually WELCOME the crop factor when shooting long. I know I do. |
