Just wanna see if anyone's interested in a trade...

Turns out this lens isn't as wide as I'm going for (given that I'm shooting with a crop sensor)... Would like to trade ONLY for a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 and about 150 cash (cash negotiable). If you're interested, feel free to pm me. Comes with a uv filter which has a tiny little ding but doesn't affect performance or efficiency at all. 9/10.If you have any questions feel free to pm me or text me at 503.313.8349. I respond fast.

Happy buying ;)

It's definately a great lens. L series glass is some of the best out there and this is a very good lens. Kinda shoots a little close in so I'd find myself standing farther away alot. This lens also is able to act as a standard focal length lens because it's a zoom (40x1.6crop=64mm). It really is a nice lens but I just want something a little more wide-angle. If you wanna see some of my shots with it check out my vimeo page (in my sig)

I know that paul (PBraunstein) shot alot of shit last year with the 17-40L and the 17 was plenty wide for follows. he also said that hes been using a 10-20 on 10mm more recently and says its a little easier but almost too wide.

Yeah I remember hearing that Paul shot with the 17-40 which ultimately swayed me into buying the lens off LBJJ but I often find myself getting a little too close in and ultimately losing some shots that would've turned out good otherwise. It's all preference and I've seen some very good stuff come out of the 11-16

I used to do follows with a 24mm on my t2i before I swapped to the narrower tamaron 17-50. I found 24mm doable, and I don't think I'd want wider than 17 to be honest. The problem with getting rid of your "normal" lens for the tokina would be a huge loss of available focal lengths and versatility.

Focal length isnt a major concern in my mind, given that I've only shot on 17mm ever since I got the lens.

Anyone?

Once you get better at follows this lens will be golden. You just have to keep shooting, You maybe two edits posted? Dont give up already
