Sorry for taking so long to post some images - I haven't really had a chance to use it much :p

And yea, I know she looks like she is in moocho pain, but I had to do it :p

I'm really impressed with the sharpness of the images though - at 100% they look fantastic!

All three of those look a little soft to me?

Well, the original RAW images are very sharp at 100% - I'm not quite sure how people make the exported JPGs look just as sharp after it gets reduced in size and quality.

Here are the images again, but retaining the sharpness that it had at 100% at full size.

That's better. What different processing did you do (apart from B&W)?

I`ve got this lens, great bit of kit. It was the first upgrade from the kit that I bought.

Well, the second time I used Lightroom instead of Aperture, and just used the sharpen on export feature that LR has, which adjusts the sharpness to the new size.
