Thanks Jim. Yes, I really like that lens. I was hesitant about spending
that much money for a moderately fast zoom, but it seems to be very
close to the equal of most ultra-wide primes.

Okay, this is more demo than peso, but I ddin't want to introduce a
new header. I wanted to show how excellent the 12-24 is almost wide
open. This is at f 4.5, 1/30th, 24mm, and, oh yes, ISO 800:

Here's a detail that is at around 200% or slightly more. Not very
noisy. Far better than ISO 800 film, and the lens has obviously
performed very well.:

By the way, these aren't great photos, but they are pics of a
beautiful young lady who passed out after hitting the bottle all day,
so there's is something of interest here.

Great picture, Paul. Can the "decisive moment" occur with a subject
in repose? My wife really liked it also - Gracie is sure cute!
BTW, I have that lens also and I agree that it's a keeper. I haven't
used it for people pix yet - must try this...
Regards, Jim
