First impressions: The lens feels nicely put together although appearance does resemble a lot of the budget eos lenses.
The hood has the polarizer cut-out. At first I thought the hood would just drop off but then realised there is a detente at which point it clicks into place. The manual focus ring is not fantastically useable being only 9mm or so deep, however the feel is good with imho just the right degree of stiction. There is no dof scale. Later today I will post a couple of pix. Kind regards Peter CAMERA DIRECT 8 DORSET STREET BRIGHTON EAST SUSSEX BN2 1WA UK http://www.camera-direct.com TEL 44 1273 681129 FAX 44 1273 681135
