To the people owning this lens, do you find the fact that the focus ring rotates during AF annoying and that it gets in the way?

It doesn't get in the way, you don't really have your fingers near the focus ring at all when using this lens I know they are very close but the zoom ring is big enough to handle without having issues with the focus one.

First test shot with newly purchased 17-50.

Just purchased this lens today to replace my 18-55 kit lens. It was a gloomy day in Chicago, perfect opportunity to try out this faster lens...

My first real shot with my new 16-stop ND filter. This allowed me to make 4.5 minutes daytime exposure (f11, ISO 100), which made the otherwise ugly clouds nice and smooth and painting-like. Plus a graduated density filter (to make the sky darker), and pretty extreme color saturation. The latter was possible (and still resulted in normal colors, without weird color casts - typical for shots made with superdense ND filters) thanks to the camera calibration I made with X-rite Colorchecker Passport.

What ND filter is that? Can you provide the name or amazon link? I'm starting to look at the ND to make some long exposures during daytime

I already had a 10-stop filter (B+W, without MC), so I only had to add a 6-stop filter (Hoya Digital Pro 1 MC) to make it 16-stop. You can also find standalone 16-stop filters (like Firecrest), but I like the flexibility of two filters, which allow me to have 6, 10, and 16 stops.
