These are in no particular order, so there is no questions about which photos are better than the others... they're all great individually for different reasons.

Okay, until next time, keep on shootin' and producin' great looking photographs!

P.S. As a side note, I got my EF-S 17-85mm lens repaired from Canon because the focus ring was squeaking... now it is working better!

Click the images to go to the full 100% cropped view.

If anyone is considering getting a new Canon lens... if it doesn't have a large aperture like f/1.8 or something, then make sure it has Image Stabilizing... it truly does make a difference... believe me... I can hardly believe it myself!

By the way... my cat was not moving. He just opened his eyes to see what I was doing.

I think Canon will continue to improve the resolution on their cropped sensor cameras because with a cropped sensor, you can actually get more detail because your 85mm lens suddenly turns into a 136mm lens so you can zoom in closer. Also, with a cropped sensor, you won't notice as much vignetting or sharpness drop off because that stuff can't get projected onto the sensor. The downside is... you have to get the EF-S 10-22mm lens in order to get extreme wide angle such as a 16mm lens on a full frame camera. On the other hand, by the time I upgrade to a full frame camera, I probably won't want that lens anymore anyway.... If I'm buying an expensive camera, I'll probably get expensive L glass to replace my 17-85mm lens anyway.

So, that's what's going on... I hope I get a good copy and won't get burned again like the defective 28mm that I got... what a pain this is. Anyways... I can't wait to start shooting with it... should get here by tomorrow or Thursday.

So, do I still return it and get my money back... or should I keep it now that it's working okay. I've never owned or even tried another USM lens... so I still don't know if this is 100% fixed or if something is just aligned right now and could go back to crappy if I bump it just right.

Also, I've been thinking that I may have made the wrong purchase.... What I really think I want now is a general purpose zoom lens that is higher optical quality than my 18-55mm kit lens and a larger zoom range.

So far my two most popular choices for this is:
EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 USM IS: The pros for this lens are; super wide angle to medium telephoto range, USM, Image Stabilization. Some cons are; fairly slow at only f/4-5.6, big, heavier and will not work on a full frame sensor so if I upgrade to a full frame in the future, this lens will not work.

EF 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6 USM: The pros are; nice zoom range, slightly faster than the 17-85mm, cheaper and compatible with all Canon EOS cameras. The cons: still slower than the 28mm f/1.8, no image stabilization, not wide enough at only 28mm on 1.6x cropped sensor

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Do any of you Deviants have any suggestions on what I should do? I hope J&R Music and Computers can accept my returned 28mm if there's nothing wrong with it now. Oh great... how do I break it again?

Anyways... It seems like people don't comment on my work anymore. Or maybe I've been taking really bad photos lately... maybe I need something groundbreaking. I dunno... whatever. Watchers, are you seeing my work in your Watch list?

From now on... I'll take this as a lesson... to only deal with online vendors that have a familiar name and people trust.... such as Amazon or J&R.

As a conclusion, remember to do outside search first if you're ordering from a new website.

I'll be sure to chime in with my thoughts as soon as I get it and I'll also most likely take some interesting photos with it to show it off... hehe. Until next time......... WOOOOOSH!

Once I get some more money saved up, I think I'm gonna go for the Peleng 8mm Fisheye for an even more pronounced fisheye effect. The Peleng will work on my cropped sensor better because it's a wider fisheye.

Anyways, this isn't a bad little lens. I have some tests to conduct.

Oh, before I forget, here's a link to the eBay page of this lens I speak of. [link]

Go check it out. It may be something that you want too.
