[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1549244, member: 284358"] Thanks, I forgot to mention the lens isn't an IS lens either. I got it in HK last week, happen to run up on a Canon UWA 10-22mm (Japan Made) lens in a shop. It was in shrink-wrap in the display case. Bought it for 350USD. It was the previous model without Image Stabilizer. But being Japan made lens, that made me really really want that lens. Don't see the need to spend 500 more dollars on IS, esp when they are prob made in china and not a good as the Japan ones. Image Quality wise. That and I normally for that lens either shoot a fast shutter speed or just use tripod. 3 f-stops isn't worth 500 bucks IMHO.. LOL The image would have been much much clearer had I used a tripod. But when we left the hotel the skys were clear so I only brought a UV and CPL, didn't think I needed a tripod on the bright sky's. When we got there however it was overcast. But still very bright sky. Ended up having to do HDR's just for that fact that no matter what direction I shot in, the sky was always blown out.
