Great to see you putting it to use so quickly Roy
Numbers 1 and 3 for me, the first one has a sense of amusement to it that I like.

What are you impressions now you have had a play?

Looks good to me. I covet one of these lenses myself; and agree with Andrew that I reckon it'll get a great deal of use

I am extremely impressed,image quality is great,built like a tank,but most of all fast,quiet and accurate focus.

Think it will be one of my most used lenses along with the fisheye.

Those two birds in No.1 look better fed than a few people I've just seen on the BBC World News!

Good photos as well. Enjoy the lens.

Examples I've seen shot with this lens in the past have always left me a little indifferent. These examples show it's sharp enough and has very a nice bokeh quality. I think it could make a nice portrait lens
