Thanks Greg! I think used is the best, if you can. Hopefully, you saw my post from this same extended trip using a 30ish year old nifty fifty. The L lenses get the press, but there are plenty of sharp lenses with excellent color in the Canon portfolio ....

Nice photos! I was there in late October, and it is a beautiful place.

Thanks John! I was to the park in late winter back in '96 when I lived in Phoenix and drove up. It was about 20-years until the next time.

Excellent work Paul. The colors and composition are spectacular.

Thanks Andy! I have another image of the hotel at an angle where you can see people in about half the balconies taking pictures. Several of these images were taken from within a crowd of people standing nearly elbow to elbow on a viewing deck around the main hotel.

Beautiful images Paul. Like the set a lot. Must have been fun shooting. George

Thanks George! The images here are from an all-day 1 on 1 tour with a Navajo guide selected for photography and a focus on landscape and architecture ruins. I've been to the park before, but never with a licensed guide so we could be in areas not open to the general public.

What a fantastic series of shots. Cheers.

Thanks flathead27ford! These are links to just the work from the 24-105 II that was the 'primary' lens for the purpose of giving it a workout. It was a good trip with a new versatile lens.

Wow. Outstanding photos and post. Your sixth photo really captured the sun, shadows and snow as vivid white. Great assortment.

Thanks Steve! A storm came through three days before I arrived at Monument Valley that left a foot in the upper elevations and closed the road to the Grand Canyon. It was a pleasent high 40s F on the day of my tour.

Spectacular series. I also liked the Chicago images with the frosty Bean being my favorite.

Thanks iDoc. It's March and I'm nearly done with images from over the holidays ...

I can't help but wonder, if I used that lens, would I get the same sharp, clear photos? These are beautiful! I have the old version. Should I consider upgrading? Very tempting!

Thank you RJWagons! Regarding similar results, the best I can give is a strong maybe ... I've been posting images into the Photo Gallery for a few weeks now with different scenes from the 4-corners area primarily from this lens that arrived finally from a presale order just 2-days before I left Chicago.
