Should you want a larger version of your manual (8"by 11"), check out ManualsInk (thru Amazon). This one not only has the large print, but it is also spiral bound and will lay open. :)
I agree with Roy, I use a Sigma 10-20 and absolutely love mine!
I use my photography with scrapbooking.
Which hood is best for the 50, 1.8?
I too have a Canon Pixma, same model. Love it! I'm a scrapbooker as well. Like being able to print what I want, when I want, and with varying sizes.
