Some of you may have read my first thoughts on this lens ealrier. I was not most impressed to say the least.
Well having got home and done some side by side tests with the 17-40 canon, it seems I may well have dived in a bit quick and the humble pie could be in the oven as I type. It didn't fair too badly in the tests, there was a clear difference if you looked closely enough for it but if you find the sweet spot for aperture and exposure, it comes quite close.
Having stood a few rounds toe to toe with a benchmark zoom like the 17-40, it got to come out for a little play tonight and help walk the dog.
Took a few shots to see how it faired in some known terratory and so far I'm still not sure :shrug:
Need to find some conclusive test somehow but to cut to the chase..... yes finally... here's one I made earlier.
Proccessed on one laptop that showed it as dark and moody and uploaded on another that shows it bright and open, so I've no idea what you'll see.![Laugh :LOL: :LOL:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.tp/lol.gif)
