The colors are nice, first one seems highly PP'ed.
How about the IQ? Besides the architecture photo, others seem not so sharp to me. Is it my eyes ? 
I am interested in this lens, that's why asking...

The IQ is great, but it was a bit hard to focus people, because I didn't want to get noticed, so the time to focus precisly was short. Besides that, the day was very sunny so I couldn't use the live view as help, because the LCD wasn't brightened enough.
If you want to buy one, don't hesitate, it's an awesome lens.

In the beginning i shooted the same way, and hesitate to ask people if they agree . By now i care less, but i want to be seen with my camera, and don't "steal" images. So i walk around and when i see a good subject i take the shot 
Your images though are very good, even if its PP, i do'nt care. And the Sonnar is indeed a great lens. my fav is pic 3. nice work

The image quality is great in all the pics. I totally get what the others have said, but for me the 1st shot is my favourite. It may not be the best to show off the lens but I love the way you have processed it.

I completely understand what you're saying. When I shoot far from my home, I do that sometimes. Some of my best photos of people I don't know are done that way.
Congratulations on your purchase, you'll enjoy it very much.
