This is the last post regarding this lens for the present time. I might just sell the lens on as I can't really see me using all that often, especially since there are much better lenses out there. I tend to use my Nex cameras for legacy lenses only and I do like using the longer prime lenses. I'm not really a wide angle kind of shooter and I always take something in the 50mm+ range when going out, giving me something between 75 and 100 depending on which system I use. 

The reason for the image: I just hadn't seen so many Mandarin Ducks males in one place before. As I processed this image I did notice that the lens performs better at the shorter end and stopped down a little it is quite sharp.

I wanted to see how the bokeh was with this lens and I must say it's not bad at all. I expected a lot more CA in this image that what was present which says a lot for the lens. It's actually not bad but there are better lenses out there. Maybe I should try it on a m4/3 camera, something like the G1 or G5 because they have a grip. This lens is a little bit too big for the Nex-5N. Front heavy and the balance just isn't there.

Following up on yesterdays post, look at the above image and compare it to yesterdays image. The difference in depth of field is quite apparent. Now, imaine if you had a lens with a maximum aperture of f2.8, that is again 2 stops brighter than f5.6. Imagine how that mosque would look at that aperture. That is what a lot of people are waiting for from the 4/3 manufacturers. Fast wide to standard zooms with an aperture of f2.8. I wonder how the Panasonic zooms will handle. Things are getting interesting for this format sensor at last.
