Wider solution for Full Frame and 1.3x crop bodies"

Dude, I share your enthusiasm. I bought mine when I got my 5D a week before christmas, and have been frantically imagining scenes to use it with. The ones I posted in the samples archive for this lens just draw me in whenever I look at them!

It's one of those lenses that makes me want to go out with just it and the body and see what happens - a zen thing I guess!

Precisely! This is a great lens to have in your tool bag. I'm kicking myself for not getting it sooner. Glad to know you're enjoying yours as much as I am.

Very interesting, Malone! I'm really looking forward to going full-frame or 1.3x the more and more you post Unfortunately I'm trying to fill my bag with better glass before I get a new body.

Good glass is definately more important. Looks like you've got a nice wide lens in your line up already. No need to rush to FF or 1.3x crop.

As you know, I love mine. congrats on gettine one.

No regrets at all for me.

Thanks for that. Though I doubt that photos of my dining table have any real artistic value. LOL

I do plan on putting this lens to the test in DC this coming weekend. Oh yeah.

I really like what you've done to the inside of your dining room. Would you mind posting some other pics of your place? FYI, I'm not a crazy stalker - I just love to look at interior design and architecture.

Nice! and what a beautiful home!

Looking forward to the color replication/dynamic range more than anything.

Well then. Now's the time to sell off that XT and 10-22, and take advantage of the double rebates with the 5D and 15mm Fisheye.

The Canon fish is a great catch (get it?)...watch out for CA though...it is razor sharp, and it's sqeeky sounding little focus motor gives it a kind of R2D2 cuteness...It is great for weddings, buildings, even landscapes...also great for interesting portraits, longating the legs, arms, etc...can make a fat person thin too, albeit with lots of distortion but hey.

And then be $2000 in debt. Trust me, I've thought about it. However, being a college student with a part-time job, and my parents moving south means I lose a LOT of conveniences, so I can't justify spending that much right now.

You don't need to justify anything. You just need to do it. As a matter of fact, I'm not asking you, I'm telling you! Do it now before I beat you!

Seriously, nothing's more important than finishing your education, and I admire you for your discipline. I wish more young people would think as you do. You've got a great tool to learn and grow with for now, and I'm sure you'll acheive your goal of getting a FF sooner rather than later.

Landing a good job because of your education and skills will get you to FF, it's win~win.

Right now that part of my house is pretty trashed. LOL Wifey is still in Africa and I've been such the slob. I'll take some pictures when I can get around to cleaning up a bit.
