Aaron, here are a few snaps with the 14mm on 40D, hand held. All were shot RAW and converted in Bibble, processed in DxO - LZ (a couple cropped a little), and sharpened in PS.

The last one has got me puzzled -

Look at the EXIF http://neilal.smugmug.com/photos/newexif.mg?ImageID=395487893&ImageKey=fEXqL

and tell me how come so much is in focus at 14mm and f2.8 :scratch

EDIT: Oh, I guess I must have put my focus point way back? Duh!

IQ isn't bad in such a dark nook at ISO 1600 :D

oh man thanks!
these are great and sharp eh?! man the edges have no softness to them with my eye....i will see what hapens on the full frame next week(:D i rented one)

the last shot is very nicly executed! surly a portfolio shot IMO.
what was your focus point @2.8? was it the far wall and you seemed to get everything in focus? is that what puzzles you?
