    I love the 10.5 and use it for most of my wide angle shots. I also have the 12-24 but don't use it as much because of the softer edges. The 10.5 is sharp to the edges and it is very fun. You just have to get really close which I think is fun to do anyhow.

    You'll be able to get pictures so close that the turtle is virtually touching your camera.. In this picture, the turtle was coming up and touching my dome port because it saw its reflection. I had to nudge it with my strobe arm back a little to get the picture.

    Have to admit I don't shoot this lens much now I have picked up the Tokina 10-17mm but here is one from PNG. Tail of the B17 Blackjack, I think the tail is over 30feet tall.

    I have thought about buying a 12-24 but i don't think i'd ever use it. I played with it at Ritz Camera for a bit.
    I figure I can just use the fisheye, and de-fish it when i don't want the effect in wide angle shots, this way i can save some money for the 70-200mm f/2.8

    Here's some more I took with the 10.5. I agree on saving your money from the 12-24 for the 70-200mm, that's a NICE lens!
