I’d absolutely love to try it out! It’s on my lens dream list, lol. I played with one very briefly at the Photo EXPO in NYC but it was mounted so I couldn’t play with handholding it. It does look very sharp in these shots except the one of the bird, but then again that could have been motion blur.

Were these wide open?

We’ve got to meet up at some point!
