Focusing Question
I just recieved my XL2 with the 16x manual servo lens and .6x wide angle adapter. I set the back focus for the lens then added the wide angle adapter and I had to set it agian. Will I have to reset the back focus everytime I use the wide angle adapter?

Alex, if its at all possible, you should check your back focus every time you mount the lens.
Cheers. |

How do you check the back focus on an XL lens ? Does the 16x have an adjustable rear element ?

EDIT: The (older) 14x manual lens probably has it too, but I don't know for sure.

It's a super lens Allen, http://www.dvinfo.net/canon/articles/article82.php
I've got one, it's a lot lighter than that 20x monster as well! About £1100 new. |

$600? Never seen one that cheap, you are looking $800 - $900 for a used one in good shape.

I sold my two 16X manual lenses for a bit less than that. Definitely a nice lens to have in the arsenal. -gb- |
