Lens

When I got the opportunity to test out this lens, I jumped at the chance. An ultra-wide angle zoom at f/2.8 would be great for so many different ...

Yes, all of this is to be expected considering the price of the lens, at nearly double that of the 10-24mm, but it certainly shows what a premium lens is capable of. The price tag of $1,499 means that perhaps this lens is not for everyone, but if you do decide to spend that and purchase this lens, you will certainly not be disappointed. I will say that after using this lens, I would, without a doubt, trade my 10-24mm for this due to the extra field of view, quality, anomaly control, and sharpness. Yes, it doesn't have OIS and perhaps it should, but considering that the lens is aimed, in my opinion, to be tripod mounted for around 90% of the shots taken with it, it's no biggie. For my time with the lens, I would've loved the weather to provide me with a myriad of conditions including, stunning sunrises, sunsets, and dark, contrasting skies. Undeterred by this lack of perfect conditions and an overabundance of gray Scottish skies, I carried on and the lens provided. The 10-24mm is not to be discounted in any way, however, as this is another excellent lens in the range and one that I personally own. I did find myself working mostly in the f/5.6-f/8 range for most of my images.

Did I get the opportunity to test it out with all of these? The sharpness is apparent from the get-go. When I got the opportunity to test out this lens, I jumped at the chance.
