I liked the contrast of the light and shadow around her in the third shot particularly. To quote Puts: "...and there is no distortion, At maximum aperture overall contrast is medium ...At f8 the edges have improved significantly and best performance is at f 11 where excellent imagery can be delivered; even today this performance is quite good." It's light and simple design and it just seems to work. In as far as I use teles I find it a great little lens to use; but I do feel the need of a 300mm on occasion. Still.
