nice shots Love the texture and the conversions!
Thanks! I'm trying to get the hang of black and white, but most of the time the results really sucks. This time I fiddled with the white balance when viewing the pic in b/w, and it really helped! Then I've done some heavy further processing in PS with local contrast and stuff.
Lovely shots with the 105! I sold mine because I thought it was too prone to ghosting and flare (and too heavy), but at the right conditions, it is an amazing lens. The bokeh is "interesting". Not very smooth, but not overcorrected either.
Edit: With the right PP, this lens is awesome. Spherical aberration makes the pictures wanting some sharpening, but it still is really really good at f/1.2. Better contrast than the older 55/1.2, but with harsher bokeh. Here's a 100% crop of the first shot.

I had that exact same kit on my 5D for a while. It was glorious. May I suggest a 35/1.4 to top it all off.
I'm also looking for a 35mm f/1.4 and a 135mm f/2.0 .. and maybe something widere than the 24mm. I have see you pictures with the 20mm f/4 and the tamron adaptall 17mm f/3.5 and they are really nice.
Love the texture and the conversions!
