You've captured the tidal streams well though!
Hi Colin - I picked up the 1.8D second hand for 100, but you can pick up those G lenses as well for peanuts. I haven't even been able to give mine away! I don't think either of them are good enough for AP, so the search continues for something that will. I guess I'll try the Sigma next :-(
Here's a comparison between the two, the 1.8 is very good on-axis, but woeful at the corners. Both of these images were at f3.5.
