Donnie G: Microsoft? What's Windows? Sounds like just another pane in the glass to me. :) I love my Mac.
Mac?? OSX??...for photo postprocessing?? Strange!!!
...but you could use Win even on a Mac!!
Roland Schulz: Hmm, maybe I'm wrong, but why is this all blue in the review?? This lens is soft like a pillow, see in the river shoots at f8! Somewhat sharp in the center but completly butter off center.
By the way I'm a Nikon user, not that happy with the extreme corners of the 24-70 2.8G, but what I see here is nothing I would accept.
BTW2: The review from IR is not that all positive, nor the diagram is.
The softness off center can easily be seen in several shoots, even @f8. For sure most lenses get worse towards the corners, so here. I don´t find anything special since this design seems still inferior to the Nikon 24-70 2.8G that is about 5 years old now (but also not perfect). Compare reviews from Imaging Resource, photozone.de and others for that.
I find these "diamonds" are overhyped, nothing so special with this lens for me.

Dammed!!! This thing will either burn or cut your sensor into pieces!! STUNNING!!!
In my eyes the Nikon D4 is the best camera of 2012, but as with the EOS 1dx and others only few people can afford one, others don´t want to carry that heavy equipment.
BTW: "Best professional camera" is the highest possible rating for a camera, EISA found the D4 to be the best at least of 2012.
There was also a big sticker with this statement on my D4 box, so that must be right ;-)!!

The best camera for you is the camera that meets your demands best and in the end that you can afford.
Wish you all a Happy New Year, with great health, luck, good light and beautiful pictures!!

In respect to the price of the 10-18 4.0 I had expected more. From what I see here I´m very disapointed.
I do not expect Nikon 14-24 2.8 (best UWW on earth in my eyes) quality, but the samples here a pretty soft.
I really hope the 12mm CZ will be BETTER.
