New camera

[ewx]

I just bought the body and kept the 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS that I had already. Quality-wise it's not the greatest of lenses; there's some CA at the wide end (mostly not visible in the last batch of wide-angle shots due to software correction) and it's rather soft when not stopped down (particularly at the wide end). Still, the long zoom range gives it great flexibility, and I'm loathe to give that up.

This lens on the other hand is exceptionally sharp even at f/2 and was well worth spending over a hundred pounds to get repaired:

Would you like me to keep that lens safe for you? ;-)
