Hi all,
Has anybody experimented slapping the new EF-S lenses on the EOS IX?
I am particularly interested in the possibility of using the new EF-S
17-85
IS which is meant for the APS-C size digital cameras.
I have been using the 28-135 IS w/EOS IX for years and it worked well.
However, it lacks the wide angle coverage and I sometime had to use 20/2.8
but even that one was not wide enough in certain situation. New EF-S
17-85
IS seems ideal. It should mount on the EOS IX and I suspect there is no
image circle issue. However, the lens distance register (would be shorter
on EF-S lens. Also, it might interfere with the mirror of the EOS IX.
The only way to confirm this is to actually mount this lens on the EOS IX
but so far, I found no opportunity for it.
Any experience or opinions?
Thanks,
Ken
