Now you know.Taking photos with either won't be easy.  Taking great photos.... well... maybe you'll get one or two over time.  But only if you stick with it, and make a concerted effort.  But most likely, you'll end up selling it for 10% of the original price just to get rid of it.Keep in mind who is writing the reviews you're reading.  I'd be willing to bet that most of them that shower praise on them are noobs who have never seen what decent glass can do, let alone great glass.</blockquote>
