New Member to the Lens Family!

Today, my new recent lens purchase arrived. I purchased the Canon 28mm 1.8 lens. I've been wanting a wide angle lens for quite some time now. After going back and forth trying to decide what would be the best purchase for me (at this time) I decided on the Canon 28mm.  After testing it out today, I'm very happy I did. A lot of reviews mentioned that it was "soft" at 1.8, but after testing it out all day today (taking tons of pictures of my boyfriend and cats :] ) I can say I didn't find anything soft about the focus at 1.8. It was spot on just as my 50 and 85 are...

I took pictures sitting in the same spot so you can get an idea of how the lenses look in comparison.
Note: I shot all of these on my full frame camera.

Watching the sun rise, on the plane ride to NYC.

I had a wonderful trip to New York and New Jersey. It was a great experience and I can't wait to go back. Next time, though, I plan to be doing lots of shoots while I'm there.

The first day we spent it touring Princeton, NJ. Princeton University is so beautiful.
