Good stuff here, I think. Going to take it and the 50/1.4 out for some shooting tomorrow, schedule and weather permitting. (We've had 15-20 mph winds here in the East Bay for the last couple of days. Demoralizing, is what it is. Having no experience with fixed telephoto lenses, I'm going to shoot the same scene at 50 and 135 a few times, just to start getting a feel around the differences.

For 50 bucks, I ain't gonna complain much.
