Would you guys say this lens seams to be a bit flat on color with out any filters? I just received my copy from B&H and the IQ looks great (no real test yet), focusing looks good but I notice the color just seems to be a bit tuned down from say, my 70-200 f4L (which might not be a fair comparison). I do love the lens though. Very impressed by the build quality.

Thanks
Erik

It has a different look than the F4 L's. It's more film-like and a touch warmer. A quick drag to the left on the Lightroom 3 tint slider will make it look like a Canon if that's your thing. I've come to actually prefer the film-like colors for UWA scenics.

Thank you for the response Mike. I am not necessarily upset with it, just surprised by the look I guess. I think a CPL will modify the look a quite a bit.

I use a CP on my 10-20 at all times unless there's blue sky showing at 12mm or wider. You get nasty, unfixable, uneven color saturation of the sky if you do (common on UWA with CP's at those focal lengths).

If you want to save a few bucks, the Kenko Pro-1 Digital 77mm CP is as good as any and you can get it for $67 here:

This is known as "Hoya" in the states and goes for $150. And this unit has a very rugged build.

Thanks, Jer! Yes, it's a stitch of 4 photos. Well, technically 12 since each one is a 3 exposure HDR and then stitched in Photoshop. :)
