Marvelous! The detail is awesome and I love the graphics colors and textures. I love how the depth of field worked out and the bokeh too. V

Superbe gros plan, c'est bien vu et bien composé.

This minimalistic image was taken to "try out the new lens". You can see the very narrow depth of field in the brickwork. The lens is adequately sharp especially considering its 800mm, but compared to a 400mm zoom that is cropped at 2X the sharpness is about the same. Its advantage is its lightness to hand hold and rapid manual focus (I take a few shots to bracket the best focus). The other advantage is that I have made a 90 deg mirror adapter for my telescope eye pieces and its now also a great lightweight 800mm telescope.At F8 (105mm dia) its bright for stars and nebulae.
