First Test of the ef-s 15-85, all in all not a bad little lens, close focus, useful focal range, only issue is variable aperture (grumble) but the IS makes up for it, which I think is more advanced than the outrageously expensive 17-55. I picked this up from @jonbradbury, top bloke!

Big Shout out to @jonbradbury, without his recommendation I wouldn't have got the 70-200 f4 L, and without that I wouldn't have taken this shot.

Icing was a mixture of curves and simple shapes, start to finish in modo maybe 2.5-3 hours.
Easy because of slik, but after working in 64bit Cinema 4d for the past couple of months, modo’s UI and render tools felt like like thick fudge due to 32 bit disparity on the mac.
Still for this kind of quick modelling work modo does rule, especially with the addition of SLIK, and said friend is over t’moon.
So here’s screen grabs of mesh, and slik render.
