Thanks for the sample/link, it does produce nice sharp images with nice creamy background. The lighting is gorgeous on that picture by the way!

Great pictures, really shows off the potential of the lens! Lovely colours and the sharpness for wide open is fantastic like you said!

This is great to know for the sport/wildlife scenarios I'm likely to end up using it in if I do buy it. Any chance of a sample shot with nice bokeh? Don't worry if not :) Add the 5 year warranty (which, unfortunately, is almost unheard of in this day and age) to the great price and it's even...
