[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 120960, member: 9521"] That's great, Drew. You'll love the lens. As a person who bought the 14-24mm but had no experience with such a wide angle lens let me warn you that it took me about 8 months to really understand how to use it. My first few attempts just didn't thrill me, the images were just not what I was expecting or what I wanted to see. As a result, this lens spent a good amount of time sitting at home. After about half a year I deciding to push myself and either figure out how to make images that I liked or to sell the lens and move on. It took a few sessions to work out the bugs but once I did, I feel head over heels in love with it. What I found is you need at least 2 elements in the image. You need something extremely close to you (but won't look that close in the lens) and you need a second element off in the distance. Once I had that combination the resulting images were great (or at least I thought they were great). Now your experience my be entirely different but for me, it wasn't an instant love affair.
