Just obtained the above lens thought I would check out the bokeh and sharpness of it. Not bad at all.

I thnik the aperture blades are sticky though as it overexposes at apertures of F8 and above.

My piccies.

Looks good! The brown bit in the background of the spider shot is a bit distracting. I really like the processing on the car. What's that thing on the garage door?

Hope the aperture blades sort themselves out.

I know what you mean about the "brown bit" it was the early morning sun catching the egde of the fencepost. I left it in to show the bokeh of better.

My piccies.

I really like my FA28... Gives colour a kind of painted effect... Offerton Hatter has the F version and raves about that... Think they have slightly different optical formulas
