All late model EOS lenses have this IR-LED counter (with the 
exception of 1(n), but not 3!), but it's effect on the final image if 
far far less than even Canon wants you to believe....it will only fog 
the sprocket holes, and will bleed slightly into the image area 
itself....nothing that a minor crop couldn't cure.

Similar reassuring reports about other EOS bodies are on my homepage:
