I've just got back from Tunisia and am beginning to develop some of the B&W stuff I took.

I shoot at f8 - the peak of the sharpness graph I've seen. This lens is amazing and whats more I find I use it far more than i ever expected. The one essential is foreground interest - the shots need to be mainly foreground IME. cheers Frank
