Hi folks, I'm having a ball with my Canon 10mm-22mm, I can't get over how sharp it is, even when your just inches away from the subject :D

This picture is the centre section of a wheel on an old Train, it's full of rust, and packed mud as well as oil stains.

The light is completely natural, shot is hand held.
I am so loving this lens :lust ... enjoy.... Skippy

    That is a very nice image Skippy - excellent exposure. I also need to get a super wide some time before I get too many more grey hairs :D

    Thanks Awais, I'm glad I didn't wait till September to get this lens, I was going to get it in USA, but figured if I got it now I could at least start using it and get used to it before the 2007 Dgrin Shoot out in Glacier National Park.

    Hi Daleantech, its a very sharp lens.
    No such thing as the "Perfect Lens", I haven't had it long enough to say anything bad about it yet.

    So far I've had a ball taking it out and just using this one lens :D
    I'm just amazed at what you can see with it on the camera.
    I need to find a tall building hahaha...... aint got a hope of that in this town hehehe ....... Skippy
