New lenses

Have replaced the 28-80's with better built 24-85's. The latter have the advantage of being;

1. wider - particularly important with my vertically mounted 10D's
2. easier to control focus with focussing window
3. both focussing and zoom are less susceptible to accidental movement

The disadvantage is that they're quite a bit heavier. I'd be happiest with fixed 24mm lenses but they're too pricey. My set-up - including the monopod which I always use -  now weighs in at a hefty 5.5kg! Have just ordered a 'holster' to attach to my belt to help support the monopod.
