This probably gives away my allegiance and will forever make me appear biased in lens manufacturer discussions, but oh well.
I almost need another DSLR to take pictures of my DSLR! The fuji compact I have does a good job of sharpness and noise, but the white balance and colour is always off... wish it did RAW.

I will try and take some more artistic pictures of the lenses on their own like you did Anden, try and do them justice 
Getting the 19 rear shroud ground down tomorrow, the guy says should be a piece of cake. At the moment I get half the image cos of the mirror hanging on the way up.
EDIT: Hmm I can flip the mirror up beforehand and then take shots no problems in live view.

No need. This is fantastic as it is. I was just going to ask how you use the 19 on the 5DII.

Wow how do you find the Tamron 180/2.5? I've read that it is very good.

It's a very nice lens, I've had two of them over the years. OTOH, the SMC Pentax 200/2.5 is better in the corners, and the EF 135/2L blows them both away, even with the EF 1.4X Extender on it.

Yepp. One can stare at a nice lens for a long time...
The Vivitar S1 90-180 Macro has a very nice coating. Will have to shot it this weekend...

Why the black tape over the "Canon" name?
Embarrassed? ;-)
