Good one Greytop

Mike to be honest, I don't really like the bokeh.
The white lines looks very busy.
The Bokeh in the front blur looks very good though so the lens has some correction problems

I think the lens is backfocusing quite badly on the K10D Stefan as I was focusing on the centre of the cracker in the second shot. I think I will have to have a play with the menu hack to do some adjustment.

I think there may be an element of camera shake in there as well as this was a fairly slow shutter speed for handheld.

When the lens just came out some members here where complaining about the focusing.
What light was there when you shot the shot, if you use tungsten light it might preform better under sun light.

Mike, what do you think of the lens after a month, is it a keeper?
