These shots are really nice plus very sharp, Kevin.

Thanks Mike. Yes, I'm over the moon with the lens. As most folk will likely encounter............t​hat feeling when you shell out a huge chunk of cash just hoping that the lens lives up to the reviews, especially when you're coming from full frame or apsc to m43 where you expect some drop in IQ
