The Daughter of Family I have known since 1979 gave me her Deceased Dad's EOS 30v with EF zoom 28-105mm f4.5.6 and EF Zoom 75-300mm f4.5.6 which is MINT and it's lens hod had never been taken out of its original box ! So I have TWO 'EOS' Canons now -- c an;t wait today to get out with 300V and see how it performs compared with the 1990's EOS 1000Fn gear. I think from a Guarantee form 300v was purchased in 2003.It is very 'Plasticy' and would not hold up to 'Professional Use' but I am now RETIRED from Professional work ! Testing the 'Autofocus' indoors they 'Jump' into Focus !
