I have been lusting after this lens for a couple of years after having read about it on ken Rockwell's site.

I finally bought it a few weeks ago and have been trying to get the hang of it with, I must admit, varied results.

There has been some discussion on it on this thread and as it seems some people are interested in it I have put some test shots at different Apertures and DC settings.

The results are here. I have taken the same shot each time focussing on the red flower on the right.

Each row is a different Aperture, F2, F2.8, F4, F5.6 with different DC settings going across (all Back CD) 0 , 2 , 2.8, 4 and 5.6.

So the bottom right hand image is shot at F5.6 with DC set to 5.6

I am happy to hear any comments of advice on getting the best out of it.
 
So, by the looks of it, if you set the DC above the f number it will be a soft image?

Do you have any portrait shots, what are your thoughts on the lens? Looks sharp to me.
