I'm fricking astonished every time I use this how sharp it is, and this K10D really helps when IS is turned on.

great photo! I like the fact that all the insect is in focus (most of the times, only a part is focused).

@ Farside - Really impressed with this shot, the sharpness and colour rendition are simply wonderful.
@ huhging - The first image is a stunner. The intimacy inferred through B&W conversion is really great.
Thanks to both of you.

Thanks...
If you nail the focus, the lens is bitingly sharp even wide open.
Of course, the strength of this lens is more on the bokeh...

Your b/w is very impressive. Do you use split focus screen on your 5dii?

I owned the sample once. It was very nice like the portrait lens on the 35-mm film:
However I was quite disappointed by its performance on the distance like the tele-lens. So, I sold it out.

I don't like to use split screen, because it forces me to focus and recompose.
I use Bill Maxwell's hi-lux screen, which works wonderfully.
The first shot I took on that B&W series was little bit off-focus, because I was in a hurry to take that moment.
Thank you everyone for nice comments on the pictures.

Thank you huhging, I have to do some googling right now....
[off topic]
I did it. I was searching a screen for my rolleiflex, so I've "met" Max somewhere... 
OK, I understand now your Max choice [not spit screen] cause you go for action-street photography.

Dave, I just wanted to say as fairly new owner of the m42 version of this lens, I am loving the performance wide open. Had not attempted any close up Bee shots with it yet, but as soon as it stops raining in sunny Cali I will.
Huhging, the B&W shots are very good... Your conversions are something I can only dream about achieving. The second shot is perfect imo...
Any tips on conversion? I have just started with PSE 7...

Gus,
Mine did not involve any conversion.
The lens was M42 mount, and I just bought the M42 to EOS Adapter to fit on my Canon body.

I am blown away you get that look by just desaturating... I must revist how I am attempting B&W... In fact I need to spend some more time just playing with conversions...
That shot of the two walking down the street really does it for me... don't ask me why
