Thank you photosphere42 - once you get used to AF-lenses there is "no way back" - and you will discover a whole new world out there with new applications for motives you earlier did not get ...

Thank you, Terence!
Its a beast of a lens, sharp like non other I have tried, but heavy and cumbersome, as the small aperture-ring is right by the mount, and with thick fingers, a bit too close to the camera for my taste. It takes time to use this lens, as the manual focus is something I almost have forgotten about in the last 10 years of only AF-lenses. In the old days (when I started out in photography) all lenses were manual focus and one did not think about it so much, but most lenses had f/3.5 to start with, and we all closed down a few notches anyway. But this lens has a small DOF and perfect focus is crucial!
B.T.W.: It is also an expensive pice of glass, and I use it only occasional (when I'm in a special mood!).I have had it for 3 years and I will pass it on to sombody new in the future, because I cannot afford to have it staying in the cupboard all the time :o)

I know this place! I have been there, but alas in different conditions, not so mystical as here.
- Rietz in Tyrol is the birtplace of my father. He grew up, not so far away from this chapel.
Very nice!!
