Mookalafalas Cream of the Crop  More info | Oct 22, 2011 09:26 | #392 I bought several lenses soon after this one and so haven't taken it out in a while. Used it today with my 135 and 24-105 and found my shots with this lens were my favorites. I have unbelievable color saturation with mine...

Especially on a crop body.  Also, something new(-ish)   A good photographer can take extraordinary photos anywhere, with any camera and any lens while a mediocre one will take mediocre ones everywhere, with every camera and every lens.

Though optically the 24mm should be a bit better as I recall. this is true, but ive found the bokeh to be more pleasing on the 24mm from viewing many sample pictures of both weee
