Thanks Christine. The lens is worth owning. It provides a substantial
increase in FOV over either the 16-45 or 16-50. The 14/2.8, while a
nice lens and a faster lens, provides only half the increase.

Yes, good job here with this lens, Paul. Your explanation of
lighting strategy was helpful and informative as well. Yes, this
lens seems like one to be seriously considered. Nice pic too,
Paul. Cheers, Christine

Here's a shot of a drag car passenger cabin. It's the Dodge
Challenger factory SS car that I shot last month. It's at ISO400,
f4.5, 1/750th and 12mm. The focus is on the steering wheel. I
needed f4.5 to be able to light the black interior with the 540
and lightsphere diffuser. I needed 1/750th to keep the background
from burning out. There's some Moire (sp?) patterning on the
window net and the seat belt fabric, but I think that's a function
of the lighting rather than the lens. This is the full frame. At
100% the seams on the steering wheel wrap are sharp. The lens has
returned a lot of good results for me.
