This is a real "beat this" shot to Canon. There is no lens this wide for any of the 1.6x Canons like the 40D and Rebel. The 1Ds Mk III ought to be a killer camera for sports, but doesn't reach ISO 6,400 except in the custom functions at the very end of its range (the D3 hits ISO 6,400 in every mode, and goes to ISO 25,600 in a custom function.) Even if a 1D Mk III gave this level of clarity and cleanliness at ISO 6,400, it wouldn't matter because there is no lens anywhere near this wide for the 1.3x Canons. The widest lens for the 1.3x Canons are the Canon 14mm, which on a 1.3x camera only gives an angle of view similar to an 18mm lens on a D3. You can go this wide on the $8,000 Canon 1Ds Mk III, but it only runs half as fast (5 FPS) and poops out at ISO 1,600 (or ISO 3,200 in a custom function).

Ok so today I come home from work for lunch break to find a 16-35mm 2.8 lens sitting on my desk! OMG I can't wait to put this thing to use. It is soooo fast and focuses sooooooo close!
