I've been hankering after a wide angle lens for a while. Had a little try of the 16-35mm f2.8 and thought it was superb but a tad pricey! I do have a Sigma 15-30mm and although I have managed a few decent-ish shots with it, I've always struggled with CA and flare so it tends to stay behind. Not good for a wide angle!
So I've bought a 17-40 f4 I've been using my 24-105mm f4 quite a bit and I've fallen back in love with it. So a 17-40mm f4 it is!
Why? well it will have two main uses. The first being an occasional dramatic wedding shot and the regular first dance shots with off camera flash. For those f4 is not going to cause me any problems at all. They will usually have some form of supplimentary lighting.
The second is landscapes. Again f4 is not really the territory of the landscape lens.
Really looking forward to getting my mitts on it!
