New Lens That Rocks The House - Canon Wide Angle-Telephoto EF 24-70mm f/2.8L

Just broke down and finally bought the lens I have had my eye on for quite some time. There are several actually, but this one is what I need for general shooting and good people shots in lower light. It being expensive was one of the delays in buying it, but lately I had just been dissatisfied with the stock lens quality I was getting in my pictures. I knew they were spot on but it constantly bugged me about the sharpness. I guess that means I am growing as a photographer. I know what I needed to do but just procrastinated. So what did I get:

So far I have been impressed and amazed at the crystal clear sharpness of this lens, even in low light. Combined with a 430EX Speedlite, its a nice combo for "people shooting". I will post some photos in a bit. But if you are a Canon lover and considering getting a new lens, I would highly recommend this if you need something to do a lot of things.

Here is summary of it from bhphotovideo.com:
This lens replaces the previous high quality L-series 28-70mm f/2.8 lens, with a lens of even greater caliber. The range has been extended to cover an ultra-wide angle of 24mm, which makes it ideal for digital as well as film shooters, and the optics are even better than before with two Aspherical elements and a totally new UD glass element. It's now sealed and gasketed against dust and moisture, and a new processing unit makes the AF faster than ever.
