Re: Canon Announces Two New EF Ultra Wide-Angle Zoom Lenses and White EOS Rebel SL1 Digital SLR Came
+1, a f2.8 wa definitely has a place in the lineup - with my 17-40L/4 you can get *some* bokeh (for me, usually light circles through leaves in the background) but I'd really like to have some more if possible. Focus stacking also solves the thin dof problem if shooting uwa macro, there are definitely creative possibilities here.
I hope all you people start selling your old, outdated 16-35L/2.8 lenses so I can buy one ... think of the horrible corner performance and sell before it's too late!
