Canon
has today announced two new lenses to 'complement' the EOS-300D digital
SLR. The first is the EF-S 18 - 55 mm F3.5 - F5.6 lens (28 - 90 mm equiv.
FOV on the EOS-300D). To quote from Canon's press release "The more
compact sensor size of the EOS 300D means the camera's reflex mirror can
also be smaller, making it possible to bring the back of the lens closer
to the image sensor. The 'S' in the EF S nomenclature stands for 'short
back focus', which describes this new system." Also announced today
is the EF 55 - 200 mm F4.5 - F5.6 II USM lens (88 - 320 mm equiv. FOV
on the EOS-300D). Note that the new EF-S lens can only be used on EF-S
compatible EOS SLR's (currently only the EOS-300D).
