Thanks, Pete. The f/1.4 is a bit expensive for me; I mainly bought  
the much less expensive f/1.8 so that my son Arthur, age 16 and a  
total novice at photography, can take the no-brainer EOS Elan 7 with  
the 50 mm f/1.8 mounted on it to India, where he is going for his  
summer vacation in July.

For myself, I'm saving up to buy Canon's image-stabilised EF 28-135 f/ 
3.5-4.5 USM IS for my Elan 7. I hope I won't need any more lenses for  
the Elan after that!


Cheers.
