Just messing around with it. No PP, just resize for web.

Sharp lens : yay or nay?

100% crop (I think I shot center focus)

I'm pretty happy with it either way but just curious what you guys think.

EXIF data intact, I shot at F/4

It wasnt supposed to be a real sharp test...just fooling around with it and thought to toss them up here and see what ppl thought. I guess I'm going to really do a test now..lol.

that is ok for f/4 - it will be soft then
but if your doing a test to see the quality of the lens you really need to do it at f/8 and higher...

also do a test on the bokeh.. at f/2.8 to see how creamy it is..

Its VERY creamy, did alot of bokeh test shots and came out very well.

I'll do some f/8 shots and post back. Thanks

Doesnt seem bad to me.

Without any post-procesing this looks perfect to me !

Can't see why he should send it back
