Im shocked at the difference, I absolutely love it now. This isnt the greatest pic to show how sharp it is after calibration but thought id post something laying around.

Shot at 2.2 with the only light source a indirect ordinary lamp about 10 feet away, dark outside. I'm still amazed at the amout of light this glass can take. Handheld

Some might prefer something a little wider, but it worked well for me that night.  2.  3.  4.  5.  Gallery: http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/22723892_JszCZ3 P.S. Sorry about the watermarks, but it's to prevent them from being taken and posted on the clubs website for now. They were sample pics for the VIP host to pass along to the club manager to see if they'd be interested in having me shoot there in the future. *fingers crossed* This was my first time shooting in a club... Hello, my name is Joe if you haven't figured it out.
