A few more as I still get to grips with the new lens. It's slightly front focusing too which is adding an extra challenge. :confused:
Its probably my 20d causing that so will stick it out for a month and a bit till the 1dmk3 arrives. :D

If these have a focus problem it is not visable on my monitor.

Great shots

Fantastic shots, great detail and sharp as a tack.

Cheers for the comments. When I can get a shot in focus with this lens the sharpness is mental.

Peat, fantastic shots, the second one is as close to a perfect goldfinch shot as I've seen, color, detail, bokeh, composition, all great, well done on these.:D
