I took this lens out for a spin along with 2 other lenses.Sadly when I took it from the box it was stored in, the back glass is looking cloudy/possible separation?

Number 5 doesn't look right. Maybe it's out of focus because of the photographer and not the lens. I doubt it is photographer fault though.

I'm not an expert but something doesn't look right.

The focus is purposefully on the duck in #5 isn't it?

Nice work Mo, great lens.

Lovely photos of my wife's favourite season. The trees are so big and old, my wife asks: did they build the houses and roads round the trees or is it an old town?

Cloudy lens or not it delivers the goods. Nice set of photos (except for the gooses' arse!)

I could not do much about the goose it just kept walking away

The town is oldish by Australian standards between 100-150 (maybe a little older)years old,the large trees are all Elms and follow the river road to the local racecourse.This area is flood prone and from what I have read the old town was located near here somewhere. There is only one house near these trees now as all the other houses are now safely built above the flood plain.They look after these elms (although there is the usual whinging about costs etc), every year they are inspected for disease and are trimmed when needed.

They are great for photography
