- Prices in some Toronto stores just went up 5% on Canon equipment. (The

- Every Toronto store I've seen has at least one, or has sold out of them.
- This is *not* a Rebel-series lens. I believe it is available as part of
- a kit with the A2/E (but I'm not positive).
-
- It has distance scales, IR marks, the whole bit.
-
- The word on it is that it's good optically, but vignettes a bit at 28mm.

-
- Good reasons. Let me add that the 28-80 has those annoying, retracting
- filter threads. Quite a pain for using filters. (Especially on
- Tiffens with those little knobby things.)

- No prob.
