Even though this lens isn't fast as an f2.8 lens, depending on what you shoot, I think it still produces very nice bokeh.

It's been so boring today that I polished up my cook top, skillet and kettle. :oops:

:-D But you haven't heard my rates yet!  :p

Btw the secret to cooking in a stainless steel skillet is: "Hot pan, cold oil, food won't stick". ;-)a

Gene, I wanted to test out my new FE lenses (24-70mm and 70-200mm), so I popped over to the Combat Air Museum in Topeka. Got to take in that amazing scale model of the USS Oriskany. It was a great place for lens testing. :)

Excellent shot David. Did you happen to take any of the Oriskany model too while you were there?

Anyone else disappointed with the distortion on this lens? I mostly shoot landscapes and getting a straight horizon is very rare. A lot of distortion on either ends of the zoom range. Easy enough fix in post, even though imo a lens at this price range shouldn't be this bad.. Fixing it in post requires cropping... Glad I bought the body with 36mp :rolleyes:

I was disappointed at first and I had never had to do correction. I would have think a uwa have something like the distortion so I cant believe it's on a standard zoom. even with canon's 17-40L uwa wasn't aweful at all.

through time.. ive own it since last march.. I just ignore it and just make the correction in post. it still is a good lens regardless of the distortion. also there's no other options for native mounts :P
