The 24mm TS-E is my favourite lens, not only because of of the sharpness. The handling makes me think more and the creative use of tilt and shift are invaluable. The only downside is that it is that wide on my 20D any more... that's where the 10-22mm comes in. ;-) -- Best regards, Dieter Erwerbsregel #162 Selbst in den schlechtesten Zeiten macht jemand Profit. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
