got to play with one in lens and shutter while buying my 6mdh on tuesday.. and i must say i was intrigued. I've never played with anything wider than 10, and the FOV at 8mm was very cool. I would love to rent one and play with it outside to really know how i feel about it.

Aside from that- the shots i took indoor where pretty sharp even magnified, and the build quality is very good. My only gripe is that the front element is pretty exposed, even with the hood. And i'm not sure if all HSM lenses are like this, but it felt a bit grindy? The guy said it was ok but it didn't feel as smooth as USM that's for sure.
