Well doh!  Probably the most important feature.  However, part of the
appeal of a SL (for me) is the "cheap" (relatively speaking) two-cam
lenses.  However, both of the lens that I've purchased were advertised
as two-cam, but had been refitted, and were three cam lenses.  One was
purchased from Adorama.  I thought they would know better.
