Good idea, Greg, but a week is not that long to get to grips with
something as complex as a modern DSLR (unfortunately).
The long R glass is the stuff that most benefits from this choice,
especially if you get an alternate screen from Britescreen or Canon
that allows better manual focus. The long glass is often used wide
open anyways, so that the lack of auto diaphragm isn't that big a
deal, and metering is more accurate. Also it's only some of the
shorter FL that have problems with the Canon mirror.
