I was referring to using manual focus primes like the The Nikon 35mm f1.4 Ai-S or Carl Zeiss 35mm f1.4, FD 85mm f1.2 L and Sigmatel Multi Scalmatic 135mm f1.8...this lot can be bought together for a darn sight less than the £896 cost of the 70-200 f2.8 L, even indluding the cost of any necessary mount adapters.
Nothing like making life awkward. FD to Ef mount adaptor has to have a glass element in it to enable correct focussing which loses over a stop of light so bang goes fast lens plus, from what I have read degrades the quality too. Going for a night out with all that little lot of camera and lenses plus making do with manual focus and I think automatic exposure control as well plus losing IS is not my idea of fun. Each to his own.
