Thanks. I absolutely love my 50mm f/1.4. Such a great lens for the price.

These are good examples of what you can do with this amazing lens, I have it and love it!
I use it alot, although not a real walk around lens, it's wonderful for lanscapes and close up work and low light situations. Tack Sharp and Well it's an "L" class lens.
I haven't bought a 10mm yet, mostly because I'm pretty happy with this one, it's been wide enough on my 40D to do what I want to do right now. But I'm still considering a fisheye lens in the future for fun.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Thanks Michael. I have the 10-22 for my 40D but REALLY want this one for my full frame camera. It is INCREDIBLY sharp. I loved it. Let me know if you're in the market for a 10-22.
