this photo may not seem much but it is is the first picture i have taken with my new lens – i have been saving up and splashed out. i unpacked the lens and was sat at the table at my friend ed’s house, looked around and this was the first thing i saw. the lens lets so much more light in that the shutter speed is much faster than it would be on the regular lens that came with the camera. i was astonished to see how the shot came out. why this lens? i have been inspired by thomas hawk who says it’s his favourite lens.

    wow – I’m jealous of that lens! I rented an L series lens (24-105) over Christmas, and bought myself a 50mm 1.4 usm lens in the January sales, couldn’t afford (or justify) an L series though!
    I love your pictures Jonny, keep them coming!

    nice image… its amazing what difference a lense can make. I am going to miss the 5D when I leave CMS – might try and scrape together a bit of cash for a 400D and a nice lense.

    Just stumbled across your blog.
    I have 30d, I don’t have any decent lenses.
    I am loving the image quality from the L series.
    That lens is an expensive piece of kit.
    Enjoy.
