Your pictures are a step above. Are you using Raw, and if so, how much adjustment are you making in photoshop? I'm considering getting the canon 40D, but I'm frustrated because, Canon does not have a lense like Nikon that is 35mm equivalent of 24 - 112. It seems that I have to go with a 15 -36. I need the 24 and I need to have a medium tele to give me more versatility. Do you have any idea where I can get a hold of a lense like that for the Canon?
