This is a thread I love checking out. I've seriously considered many times replacing my wide angle lenses with this one, if it were constant F/2.8 I'd do so in a heart beat. Such a versatile lens, there's some very creative and talented folks shooting with it here too.

Cheers.

Cheers for the kind words guys, yeah not having a constant F2.8 does get annoying :p

I got my 17-70 to replace what I always thought was a pretty good lens. (My Canon 24-85)

This was the first photo I took with it and I was immediately impressed with it's quality.

Yeah I friend of mine in CA went there with his family & said it was a lot of fun & a great place, but he couldnt help think how many people had lost so much to make it what it is.

Great shot though, their electricity bill must be phenomenal :D
