Noel, This is the beginning of the end (bottle half empty effect), or the beginning of a new life (bottle half full effect). Just try to actually USE your R-lenses on an EOS body and you will be able to split hairs in four ... Not only will you have to learn how to use a digital camera (it is not that different, after all, there is one important new tool, the histogram), but the hardest learning curve will be the "digital darkroom", Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro.
