That's one thing hindering me from investing in AF gear.  Unless I could 
afford Canon's L-series glass there didn't seem to be any point.  The 
L-glass is shrouded in tanklike armor that can take a licking.  Everything 
else in the Canon line, as well as Sigma's, et al, seem pretty fragile by 
comparison.
Heck, even Olympus's failed AF system included lenses that were built like 
they were intended to stop bullets.  I've been tempted to try an OM-77 or 
-88 just on the basis of the lenses alone.
