It's sharp where it matters - right on his beady eyeball and you've caught the essence of sparrows perfectly.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

IS it me or does it looks like 'he' is being told of ? Super.

How could you NOT like it? As has been mentioned, it is sharp where it needs to be, blurry when it needs to convey motion.
