Great set and lens, there seem's to be a buying frenzy on this lens recently.

Have used third party batteries for a while now. Never had any issues with them and there much cheaper than own brand originals. I tend to buy from 7dayshop.com

The sun came out this morning so before my chores I set up the bunch of Tulips I bought yesterday for two shot's. First a hikey look with bright background and deliberately overexposed.

Then I changed the setup to the bunch being lit from behind by the early morning sun. Between the bunch of flowers and the sun about a foot or so behind I place a 10X8 photo frame. This has a sheet of black paper in, and is great for reflection's.

Your first few words may give a clue, "low light", lenses will hunt for the correct focus point in low light. And also if you were moving the cam at all it will hunt,because you may be moving its point of focus, it.s happened to me don't worry.

Taken at wide aperture to blur out the rest of the bunch, so the stamen isn't as sharp as it should be.

Went for the paper today and saw this lovely bunch of Tulips, I just loved the colour and thought they would look good with a black background.
