Here are a few first photos using this lens. As Orio mentioned, the DOF takes some getting used to. No art work here, but first light so to speak.

At F5.6


At F4.0 a little softer.

F2.8 I need a tripod for this focus may be a little off but now the DOF is getting shallow.



F1.5 DOF is very thin almost an ability to paint with this lens.

The last image is beautiful!

Congrats on your new lens, Bob. It's already obvious that you will put it to a good use.
