But, it does break your very important rule about supporting lenses for the long term. Your defending Canon makes you a hypocrite. Is that better or worse than an idiot? A cynic could look at it and say that Canon made a huge gamble and it paid off. I knew a number of Canon owners who felt pretty miffed when support for their tens of thousands of dollars worth of FD glass was casually dropped by the Canon. My friend Scott has a T-90. It's the only Canon body out of three that he owns that still works. He had to put it back together himself after the Canon repair department turned it into a basket case. He is now about ready to buy a DSLR. He has no reason to look at Canon in particular, since he is forced to start from scratch. In his situation, Canon didn't help themselves at all, he isn't willing to risk another lump of money on them.
