I'm not quite sure what you mean...

It's not my current view but will be once we can get tradespeople in to renovate the new flat, though Madrid is still very much under lockdown so we don't know when that will be.

I'm pretty sure he meant that you have a beautiful view. I took it as complimentary and possibly a bit envious.

Well, that's the springtime view before the Madrid summer comes along and burns everything to a crispy brown.

I tried a couple of shots of close subjects with the aperture wide open at f/3.5 to see how much subject isolation was possible and to check centre sharpness wide open. The results aren't exactly great photos but they show what's possible and a 100% pixel peep shows that the lens is really, really sharp wide open in the centre.

I didn't take this for posting but rather to show friends and family the current state of the kitchen of the new flat as renovation gets underway, but I quite like how it turned out.
