I find #4 & #5 particularly attractive. The flower is one of my favourites. However I'm sure that the Lanthar makes a difference. The clarity in the "house shot" is also impressive.

I prefer the Distagon photos myself. I really like the DOF and bokeh- it gives the feel of a painting Very Happy

Very good lens indeed and tasteful macros.
