I wanted to test this lens pretty badly so I really didn't have a choice but to out of a cold rainy miserable day. Not my choice weather for this sort of thing but the forecast didn't exactly predict some nice weather for the foreseable future, so out I went.

My normal walk is the same as ever, a circular route around the west docks in Frankfurt, Germany. I've stated before that I know what to expect from images of this area when a good lens is used so that I can tell instantly how good a lens is by looking at the images on my screen. In my opinion the lens is too expensive for this sort of photography but the lens should come into it's own when fast apertures are required.

The original 14-45 kit lens is still hard to beat for this purpose, especially at the price. You can't buy them new because they're out of production but they do come up on ebay. my adive, Just get one, you won't regret it.
