    I bought one of these from Windoze and man, what a toy! I've only taken it out one outing, but I got some great shots.

    For the closeup profile of the horn player, I had the camera about a foot away. The steering wheel maybe the same. The full figure shots of the horn player, I was at most three or four feet away. Looking at the world through this lens is really a different experience.

    Hmmm.... should I re-think my desire for the 17-40/4L?

    I debated this for a long while also but fish & andy were sending telepathic garbage into my head for weeks. I put an old stainless steel washing machine bowl over my head & this worked to stop the msg's but i kept running into crap all the time.

    I gave in & now all i can hear is andys Ipod (barry manilow)

    Andy has Barely Maneough on his iPod? Oh, the shame of it all... L OL!

    I've heard the 17-40/4L has a special infrared coating to deal with the sensitvity of CMOS sensors to near infrared. Baldy alluded to this in a different thread. Same for the 10-22? A problem worth worrying about?

    So far I'm impressed with mine, got it last week - haven't been able to play too much yet, but I did experiment and have used some pointers for a couple posts about using distort in PS to clean it up a tad if you are all the way out - blows stitching pictures together away.

    I did this one at 12mm and was standing on the sidewalk - I did touch it up a little to straight out the left side of the building - this is very cool.

    I was less than 10 feet from the building, standing on the sidwalk - gonna be a great summer up on the Blue Ridge with this lens artist.gif

    Gus,

    There are a lot of elabrate methods to check a lens, (no I don't know them all), but if you want to get a pretty good real world feel for your lens I might sugest you shoot during the day and use a tripod with, if possible, a remote shutter switch. Brick walls are pretty good ( the poster would be good as well) but just set up and take a number of shots using different focal lengths and aperatures. Download them to your computer and look at them. How do they compare to your other lenses? Check the center and outside edges.

    If it looks good, it's good.

    Oh, and I think the 35 mm focal length equivalent for 10 mm is 16 mm. But the number isn't important. It's wide!

    You'll make good use of the lens in Yosemite.

    This was a perfectly good discussion of the properties of this very interesting lens and now it has deteriated into puke emoticons. Jeez and you a super moderator and all. Maybe I'll have to switch to FM where a more sober sense of decorum prevails and perfectly interesting topics don't degenerate into personalities and threats.
