: I'll second Mike's comments on the 20D. It was the camera that finally got
: me to "retire" my Canon T-90s and FD lenses and more or less give up film.

: Since I never owned any auto focus gear, I've sort of had to "start over"
: and it's been fun getting to know both the digital world and the Canon EF
: (auto focus) equipment.

I went the Pentax DSLR route (*ist-DS) so I didn't have to give up my 35mm
film lenses. I have exactly one auto focus lens.... the cheapie kit 18-55mm that came
with it. My other 12 or so lenses are all manual focus glass between 0-40 years old.
They were bought for 1-10% of what autofocus equivalent replacement lenses would cost.
