- Well, the L USMs are by *FAR* the nicest focusing zooms I have ever used. Well,
- the 28-80L is. The non L USMs are too high geared for my liking. The feel is not
- too bad ( not real good mind you ) but it only takes a micron of movement to
- go past your focus point. It is a pity they didn't make all the lenses controled
- by the body, as the USM Ls are, and include the variing focus speed that makes
- the Ls so nice to use. Fast at the short end, acurate at the long end...
