2Cruise, I love your work with this lens. I am torn between this one and the speed of the 28 1.8. Not much difference at center-frame, but the 28 1.8 is really poor at the borders/corners wide open.

I picked up this lens today, and then stopped off at Southbank in Brisbane to take a few test shots. Looks like a nice wide angle lens for the 6D!

Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks I have no regrets with this lens.

I agonized a bit between those two lenses. I ended up with the 17-40 and the 28 1.8. Logic:
I buy primes mostly for aperture. The 28 1.8 suited me better. Still wish I could afford the 24L II.
I often go wider than 24mm. At those focal lengths I am shooting f/8-16. 17-40 fits better.

I borrowed a 24 IS for a few days. I really liked it. Excellent wide open. Sharp across the frame and IS, too. The aperture thing killed it for me. If I am not at f/1.x, I am at f/11 or so. A fixed FL f/2.8 lens just didn't do enough for me. That works for the way I shoot. As usual, YMMV.
