I'm working on the raw files, and the lens is far better than I had imagined it would be (even though there is high praise for it on several review sites on the Internet). The bokeh is nice, it is sharp, and the colors are nice. If I had paid $1500 for a Zeiss lens and it gave me these kinds of results I would be a happy camper. The fact that it is 1/3 of the price of a Zeiss and lighter in weight is a win-win-win.
