LOL. That lens looks great to me Tim, but I haven't seen any bad shots with it anyway. It would fill the gap in my lens range between 50mm and 100mm very nicely, but given the sort of stuff I mainly do, I can work around the gap and use the money for something I'm going to use a lot more. :)

looks like a good all rounder to me Tim....if you crop off those OOF flowers at the back of the grass shot it would look better I reckon :)

No you are correct dod, I bought this lens brand new less than 10 days ago but may be moving it on as I love my primes.:)

It is very vertasile indeed but I think it will get boxed up again and moved on due to my passion of primes.. :love:

I will give it some thought over the coming days.:|

I can't believe you are thinking of selling it already!

That is the lens I would replace my 17-85 IS USM with if I could afford it - it looks like a cracking lens.

Still, when the house sells I should have a bit of spare cash and at that point I may want something different

I can pop in to CCL with it tomorrow if you fancy trying it for a couple of days Lee..:)

Don't tempt me, I may not be able to give it back!

Seriously, I know I can't afford one so although it's tempting I would be stopping you from selling it to someone who actually has some cash.

thanks for the offer though :thumbs:
