Can anyone point me to a .pdf file with the specs of the 16x manual lens? I know it was posted here and on Canons site somewhere but I cannot find it.
It seems that the minimum focal distance is less on the XL-H1. I have to switch to macro mode when objects or people get to within 3-4 feet of the camera at it's widest setting. When I used this lens on my XL2 it seemed that it was more like 2 feet before I had to go macro.
anyone?
Also maybe someone can enlighten me as to wether there are more than one version of the 16x lens out there. The one I have now seems to have a slightly different backfocus type adjustment from my old one. Did Canon modify this? Also when I tighten the screw on the Back focus too tight then the macro button doesn't easily release.....that never happened before so I am wondering if I have an older model or something.
Thanks!
