Sample Shots
Ok, finally here're some sample shots taken with the EOS 350D (converted RAWs).
Click on a thumbnail to view the original file (opens in a separate window). Please note that the full-size
images are supplied in JPEG2000 format. You should be able to display the images in most modern imaging
applications such as Photoshop. This is a measurement to limit the bandwidth which is a scarce resource.
If you prefer to watch the full-size samples in your Internet Explorer browser you may try the
JPEG2000 ActiveX Control (Windows) plug-in.
I've checked out a few plug-ins for Mozilla/Opera but haven't really found a good one. Firefox will
open IE if you install the ActiveX Control above.

Verdict
The Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 may not be the most attractive lens on the market but it is still
interesting nonetheless. It is very affordable in combination with a pretty impressive optical
performance (except CAs) and quite decent mechanics. However, it faces pretty stiff competition
from the Sigma AF 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM which is a little better in the center but worse at the
borders. The Canon is much cheaper though.
