Jim,

In my opinion is that the lens performs quite well, the pictures look sharp 
but it saturated a lot the colors, mainly the blue cast, I think that it 
could give interesting color results using it with the sunset warm light, 
avoiding the blue sky, because on the other hand I see that it enhances the 
warm colors as yellow, red, ocre ? If it was mine I would do a try? , in a 
certain sense I think you can obtain similar colors as Ernst Haas does with 
Kodakchrome 25, I remember some evening/sunset pictures with a dark sky 
almost black and vivid colors on the view.

Cheers
Lluis
