Really? havent you ever cooked with cloves before? ok they are roughly 10mm (0.39 inch) in length, quite small little things & great in apple pies.

I have found the lens that will replace my kit...great shots on here everyone.

Anyone using a Circular Polarizer? Anyone using any grads...Cokin P series perhaps?

Thanks for seperating me from $325 :)...make that $400 as I'm also probably going to by a 50mm 1.8...make that $450ish cause I'm probably going to buy a polarizer. Damn you POTN!

I use a polariser & nd grads on the 17-70, it all works fine, the P series holder doesnt cause any problems like vignetting at 17mm.

I've never had this problem. Are you using the onbord flash or a hotshoe flash?

Yeah, Onboard flash will cause that, at certain angles.

My 17-70 is my "standard" lens. It rarely leaves the camera as it's so versatile. Virtually all the pics in the Valencia set on www.flickr.com/photos/​chalkie (external link) were taken with it (and most of the rest of them too!).

yes mine does that using the onboard flash, i just take the hood off. I presume with a 430 or 530 flash this wouldn't happen
