im in love with this lens, it arrived 1 hour ago and i have taken a few shots to start with, waiting on a filter to arrive before i use it too much.

here are a few, with a few post processing bits done, it takes amazing images without much need for post processing

all pictures were taken at ISO200, F2.8 on Apperture priority setting.

im not too keen on poppys (black dog) pics, as she is a hard subject to get a picture of, think of her as she has got a car battery constantly running her!

I really like the black ones..certainly looks nice and sharp mate especially considering its at 2.8...it will get even sharper if you stop it down.. Wink

You lucky bugger _dave_, I'd love one of those - I need to save up!

Love the photos of the black dog, they're very clear.

Nice, but pricy lens you got there Wink

I went with the Tamron 17-50 2.8 because it was quite a bit more affordable then. According to photozone.de the Canon lens is a good piece of kit, "highly recommended" they said
