Just wondering if anyone here has any shots with the above combo, preferably the 5DMKII if possible. If you do, would you recommend this lens for full frame?
Thanks!

"Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

Okay, arm twisted, here's an example:

Might as well just get a 50mm f1.4 at that point. The budget FF solution for you would be the 28mm f1.8 or 35mm f2. Taylor
