Number three is VERY cool - like the perspective a lot, nice job.

WOW that was quick!!!!!

Many thanks! It was an assignment that didn't start too well until I spotted the great light in the ladies' toilet at this theatre!

Edmond, thanks for posting. I'm cosidering this lens to
be used insteead of my 17-35. I'm still waiting for a
real test to evaluate the sharpness of the 17-55. Do you
think this lens could also replace the 28-70 for
portraits? Did you use the SB800 with this lens? Could
you post more people's pics to evaluate sharpness.

Hi Danny,
The lens is great. I've used it with the SB800 and it all works well. I'm going to keep my 28-70 for now, but since buying this lens I haven't used it once......so I guess I may sell it!
55mm isn't ideal for portraits as the 70mm gives a more pleasant look by more flattening. Having said that you can see the portraits that I've posted.
I'm vey busy so the chances of posting anything else is slim. I think there is enough of a selection to get a good idea of the lens's sharpness. As I mentioned though, none of the images have been touched, so you would normally USM before sending.
