What an eye. I am in awe. It's amazing how after seeing these structures all those times (we rode it 3 times) that you miss these details.

Yes, I do remember that. Boy we did run into some nice CMs during that trip - there, at Fantasmic!....

Of, course, the widest I could have done there would have been 27mm, now I could do 22mm. Was that about 17/18?

thanks, biblio...
17-40 is the zoom range in millimeters, and f/4 is the aperture.
 
Thanks Tim...but still...unless it is a picture of a face, a mountain or a moon on the viewscreen on my camera, I'm not sure what the settings are!
 
Let's call Tim's picture Exhibit #1 for full frame.

Then we'll call my picture Exhibit #2 for APS-C.

Since I'm not going to buy a wide-angle lens that can only be used on three* Canon SLRs, film or digital, this is one example where the wide angle ability superiority of full frame comes into play.

Okay Tim, "FINISH HIM"

* As of July 2007. 3 is out of 6 current models being manufactured, and of all the dSLRs produced by Canon, the total number is 4 that can use this lens.
**Poster's note: Other dSLR manufacturers (my post is brought to you by the letters N, P and O) have wide angle lenses that will work on basically all of their dSLRs.

I HAD the 10-22 ef-s but that was sacrificed to the ebay gods when the 5d came into my grubby little hands. I agree that canon needs to make a true wide angle without the gimmicky -s mount. I was unsure of that when I got the 10-22 but luckily recouped most of what I paid for it when I sold it. Build quality on the -s was not too impressive, esp. Vs the "L" family, which are built like tanks. Unfair comparison, but true.

Tim, what was the EXIF on that picture? My riverwalk pic is making me think about something that I believe is correct, but not sure of.

but tim, let's also be fair about the image quality of some of the ef-s mounts

i have 2, the 10-22 and the 17-55 f2.8 ISm, these seem to me to be 2 of the best lenses i currently own, esp the 17-55, more than 1 person has web reviewed this lens and stated that they feel it's an L quality image maker, just not an L in name or build, 90% of my european trip photos were with the 17-55
so even though i have just made the move to full frame 5d, i'll be keeping my xti as a backup and to use for the reach crop factor on my bird lenses.my basic motivation for the 5d purchase was that i do a fair amount of low/available light stuff, particularly outdoor music festivals, and i felt i really could make a quality increase with full frame for these conditions
and just to throw it out there, i have long owned a number of L grade lenses, i always felt i would eventually make the move to full frame as it became more affordable and market driven, plus i have been a firm believer in the adage that good glass, properly cared for always stays good

ISO 100, f/4, 4"

I was right; because of the DOF differences between 1x and 1.6x, my exposure time was a lot less, about 3 2/3 EV more. I noticed something was odd when I was down on the Riverwalk getting 20 second exposures that I would never dream of with my 30D -even when pushed to f/22.

Just trying to impress you guys!

Since most of my photos look like pictures that Tim took with a tin can, I needed to have something to throw into the conversation.
 
dude, did you just make a reference to WEIRD AL on my message boards? :o ;D :D
