This is an f2.8 constant aperture lens. I also have a Canon 28mm f2.8 lens. The Canon prime is far, far, better than the zoom wide open and this shows very clearly on the image.

I can clearly see the difference on the screen between an inferior lens a good one, and while some things can be fixed in PS, you cannot easily fix things like distortion, colour fringing or chromatic aberration. In fact, I can make the opposite argument: with digital and PS, I can look at each image at 100%, which corresponds to a print size that is way bigger than anything I have ever printed. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
