First shots with new lens....

Lovely shots, Liz. Nice contrast and clarity.
Another solution for ya would be to just get a full frame sensor . . . :wink5:

Thanks for the kind words.......well, full frame wouldn't work for me right now due to the weight. One reason I went for the XTi is the weight. :-)

Actually, I couldn't decide whether to keep the 12-24 or not due to the new Tokina 11-16mmf/2.8 that is coming out in June. PJ posted a link to the KenRockwell review. After reading the review a few times I decided to return the 12-24 and wait for the 11-16. The extra 1mm is good - enough of a difference with ultra wide. And Ken gives this lens a huge recommendation! The constant 2.8 was what put me over the edge.

Oh.....the price is good too - $69 more than the 12-24 which is tweaking the budget a bit - we'll see if it's worth it. Otherwise, I'll definitely go back to the 12-24 as it's an awesome lens.

Here is the review if anyone is interested. I think I posted it once before.

First I have heard of this lens. I guess I missed something along the road. But I'm not going to have buyers remorse now. I am pleased with the 12-24 and I'll stick with it for a few years. That f2.8 would have been worth the extra money to me if I'd have known about it though.

If PJ hadn't posted the information, I would have missed it too. I wouldn't have sent back the 12-24 - and probably be happy! I just sent it back today and miss it already. Yes, the f2.8 is the kicker......but waiting until June will be a challenge since I've gotten a taste of the ultra-wide "angle" of life.
