Nice series, I can't help but thinking about Vejio when I see that cathedral
My favourite is sad picture #7, I think it would be even better in B&W

Thank you for comments!

Yes, this is a good constant aperture lens, sharp, distortion is not bad, well built but rather heavy.

Hi!

To my eye, #4 is best (lovely composition!), followed by #2. The lens looks really great for a zoom.

Cheers!

#4 and last one are eye catcher really, nice series!

Very good series.
I like #7 and especially #4

I guess #7 would have been even better if the lens would have been stopped down a tack more.
