Brian - Very nice images, particularly 1 and 3, and then  particularly 
3. These images show the lens off at its best - low light and shooting 
close to the subject. While the lack of depth of field is greater the 
closer one shoots, the closer one gets to a subject, the less depth of 
field ones eye expects to see, so the less jaring it is. When the lens 
is used in brighter light, and from farther away, then one gets that 
weird paper cut-out subject, inserted between to wildly out of focus 
fields, look that I, for one, find extremely disconcerting. These 
photos, however, really work..:-)
