That works, Judith Ann, although 'mitts' isn't necessarily the first word that springs to mind

I know a lot of people like Picasa, but there have been many threads where Picasa is causing strange effects such as false colours, banding etc. I would hope that LR3 will handle the files just fine. Tip - set your RAW file setting to DNG for maximum compatibility with editing software.

There are some very good reports/sample pics on the US forum. It has a bit of barrel distortion but looks surprisingly sharp right from f2.8 - check the sample pic of the street with the church at the end on the Canon APSC review on Photozone.de!

The only thing that would put me off this lens is the size - it's a full frame mega-wide lens which is 'only' about 21mm on APSC....

Ribbed for maximum pleasure?

Shame they didn't actually *engrave* the lettering btw...

To all intents they are the same lens, but the FA version is scarcer and cosmetically nicer, so commands a higher price.

I went to my local Asda for processing... Digital only, unfortunately!

That would work Don. I rarely use that feature... slows down shooting too much.

That's cos most of us haven't seen one. I hadn't until now. Dayyyumm, that's ugly!

I take your point about functionality with a filming rig but I wouldn't mind something presentable, if not elegant, and agile in my hands... look at the Olympus OM-D for example!

I'm excited too, apart from the brick part!
