One for Andy Barton

Andy, thanks for selling me the 28mm Elmarit. Looks like it and my 5D are going to have a long and happy relationship.

Full frame, cropped to panoramic.

Nice one!

I assume that there is a noticable improvement over any Canon glass that you have at this focal length?

I will drop you an email of PM with some "details".

Very pleased with it Andy, I'm sure is sucks in and orders those photons far better than the Canon glass :-)

Here's a pretty crappy shot, but with an unsharpened section at 100% magnification...

Looks like that lens/camera combination has all the resolution most folks would ever need.

Steve -

Long live your pairing the 28 with your eye. The panoramic crop greatly enhances the shot, too.

Steve

As you said elsewhere, it is a little soft in the extreme corners, but is a very good lens all round.

If I hadn't been tempted by the ROM version (which isn't really £900 better), then I would still have been happy with it.

You can see the curvature of the image from aircraft contrails all of which suggest that the rsponsible aircarft are all making slow turns.
