Having bought this here a few days ago, i got out for 10 mins with it this morning, and just spotted these.
The first 2 are pretty hefty crops, about a 1/4 of the original size, the other 2 were minimal crops.
Overall first impressions of this lens are , not bad at all. All hand held.
Cc most welcome, or any tips on how to get the best from this lens.

I know what i like, If not always why.

Well they certainly look sharp enough but a bit on the dark side, all I can suggest is to get closer and try and get down to the same level as your subject., like the 3rd one.

C&C welcome.

Thanks Don, if theyre a bit dark, its down to my editing, good point about trying to get down to the same level, in this instance it wasnt possible as i was leaning over a 5 foot wall. just copped their movement out of the corner of my eye as i was passing.
Cheers
