Thanks! I need to try to take more shots at f/4+, but the f/2.8 bokeh is just so addictive.
Originally posted by littledrawe That one looks like tons of fun, maybe cause I'm super lean on wide angle lenses and that just looks so different from everything I have been shooting. Great shots!!
It is tons of fun, and a bargain at ~$200. I really like the build quality and feel of the manual focus. Also the infinity focus stop stops exactly at infinity (which as simple as it sounds, is quite nice after working with other wide-angles with a misaligned infinity stop).

To each their own for sure. The bokeh is the opposite of what is considered "good" by photozone and the like, but it's all about what you're going for in a shot. Bokeh like this in a portrait lens would drive me mad, but for landscape/nature shots, fantastic!
Originally posted by kenafein I like them, especially the last two, and I like an interesting bokeh.
Thanks, the extension tube shot was a fun one.
