The IQ of this lens even on a crop is really great! Can't wait to have my copy!

Beautiful shot btw.

Thanks, yeah this lens has a fantastic sharpness to it, which with the addition of a highpass filter in Photoshop, it becomes nearly too much. With that Lion shot I've actually, since posting, put a mask on the Highpass layer to just hit the face, as the fuzz around my head seems a bit too crisp, unnaturally so.
Also, that shot was cropped in quite a bit:
