The last image showing what this can do for now. Probably the next time I'll have a chance to use this lens will be in the spring, or, light permitting on a crip cold day this coming winter when snow is on the ground and a blue sky in the background.

I purchased this lens for €280 and I can definately say it's worth it. Couple this with the 14-45 kit lens and a macro then you're all set for most situations. Maybe the 25 f1.4 for low light stuff.

I don't think I've seen so many fungi this autumn as in recent years. There were literally thousands of them all over the place. This image didn't turn out all that bad for such a slow lens. I didn't think I would get a sharp image from the four of five shots I made.

You can see some noise in the dark areas if you open the image, but I find it acceptable.
