I was waiting eagerly today for my new christmas present to turn up, upon arrival I was chuffed to bits. Anyway I opened it up and took it out and first signs were great the thing weighed a ton...

But when I looked into the lens I was horrified:eek:

The bloody thing was empty!!! someone has knicked all my Luxury glass:razz:

Of course I'm only joking!!! :lol:

I was shocked at just how open the lens is though...:love:

Some more shots of her..

Now I have heard people talk about the rear element being exposed but this just scares me..:eek:

And of course the very first shots I took with it..

the extreme narrow DOF is going to take some getting used to..

Any tips on focusing? I want to use this lens wide open but my usual focus with centre and recompose is just not going to cut it!!

Cheers SIB, these were literally straight out of box...hopfully I should have some more impressive shots with it soon.. ;)
 
It's a horrible lens.
Horrible IQ.
Horrible bokeh.
Everything about it is HORRIBLE.

(If I keep saying it often enough, I just might start to believe it). ;)

((But it isn't working yet)) :bonk:

Seriously, I'd kill for one of those. Congrats, it's beautiful :love:
