		<description><![CDATA[I upgraded! and I am evaluating, and right now it is a keeper. Initial impressions:  it is sharper edge to edge and creamier (the main reasons I upgraded).   Initially I felt it was faster focused than the old version, but  after further testing it behaves similar to the old lens.   I believe the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here are my initial thoughts on UniWB. I tried UniWB to improve determining exposure when shooting RAW using the RGB histograms.

The normal histograms show clipped channels, over-exposed areas, blown [...]]]></description>
