All my pictures in week 22 from no. 5 onwards were shot with it: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws/?page_id=1000 And all the ones from the medieval market last week (from no. 13 onwards): http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws/?page_id=1002 The only trade-off is that it is relatively slow at f2.8 at the wide and and f4 on the long end.
