He pointed the lens at a branch in a tree outside the shop and he was horrified at the amount of fringing on it..
Your pictures are good but if you look at the last one of the horse you also have the fringing in the branches of the tree on the right hand side of your picture where there is a lot of contrast between sky and branches above the horses rear end..
This is a good lens for the money but personally I was very disappointed but only due to the fringing as I mainly wanted it for wildlife/bird shots.

I use a Sigma 70-300 APO that is fine, but more money.
I also have the Tamron 70-200 f2.8, that is stunning but it costs, on the K20 I can crop into the image without loss.

I Have this lens Ian it is that sharp you could shave with it.
It has to be one of the best 50mm's ever.

Hows this one then? I could have any car i liked and not pay any road tax at all (if I could afford it).
With my war disability pension i am car tax exempt.
But they dont give me that much so I am just stuck with my Suzuki Ignis,£25 a month fuel bill the only bit i like.
But I can still dream
