[1st_and_2nd]

My lens arrived today and I’m very excited about it. Wow is this thing wide. I practically feel like the image is wrapping around my head. I’ve heard of a few people getting their feet in the shots and I totally understand how that’s possible when looking at these pictures

Ug -- I hate that new building.

But it's going yo have a 60,000sq ft Whole Foods! And I'm hoping a parking lot or two.

WOW.

:D

I am irrationally excited that I'm seeing more of the neighbourhood. Yay!

[1st_and_2nd]

Yay! Yeah, I'm loving this lens. It's interesting how the pictures come out since there really ends up being so much more than the eye takes in on it's own without the lens.

whoa....the street looks so different like that!
congrats on the lens. i've been wanting a wide angle too...but i already change lenes so damn much....so i'll just get a 28-300mm...

Yeah, my collection is seriously growing. I'm planning on getting another macro which Canon is releasing at the end of January and I need a better telephoto Zoom since the 75-300 I have is crap. But that one is a long ways off from happening.

well with the 1.6 crop its really still a 16mm lens.

[1st_and_2nd]

And the point is?

[outofreachx]

its not as wide as you claim it to be

[1st_and_2nd]

I'm claiming it to be a 10-22, yes in reality it crops to 16 something but hey, non of the lenses on the DSLRs unless you have a full frame $5000-8000 camera are what the numbers are. So once again, your point of this rude comment is?
