Nice Matt!

You must have spent a bit of time cloning out the license plates!

My personal favorite:

Thanks Dean, that was shot with Gary's 28-135 lens (thanks again for letting me try it out Gary).

As for cloning out the plates, I don't know if it makes any difference to people, but it takes about 5s per shot so no big deal.

Nice pics Matt. The 28-135 is a good lens. I almost went for that one but decided on the Sigma 24-70 instead.



...

How do you like the Sigma? I found a really good deal on the Canon 17-40L lens and ordered one last week, but it's on backorder and doesn't ship until Aug 8th. I wanted something that went at least as wide as the stock 18-55, but now am thinking I might want to also get something that will cover the 40-120(ish) range.

Matt, the Sigma is a good lens, a little soft at f2.8 but stopping down a little and it's great. Focus is fast too plus 1/4 the cost of the Canon 24-70L

The 17-40L is an awesome lens, wish I have the money. You didn't order it at Dell did you? They have the sale last week.

The 28-135 fit your range but I'm sure once you put on the 17-40L you won't go to this lens anymore . Also check out the Tamron 24-135mm.

I'm thinking of the 70-200 F4 next... need second job

Sonny,

Nice pictures! I especially like the second one.

I did get the lens from Dell during their sale last week, it's backordered and supposedly ships on the 8th. The also had the 70-200 f4 on sale for ~$500. I was trying to decided between the two and ultimately concluded that the 17-40 would get a lot more use since with a 1.6x crop factor the 70-200 provides A LOT of zoom and is fairly limiting in terms of field of view.

Now I'm somewhat questioning if I need a top level lens like the 17-40, but I figure I'll try it out and can always return it if I don't see enough of a quality increase over my stock lens to make it financially worthwhile.

Thanks again for the pictures.
