Erichard: Thank you very much! I think those are shots I enjoyed shooting most. It was very windy, so long exposure shooting was probably not the best idea..
Here are few more (I feel I'd better scale those down a bit):
Okay, I have to ask b/c this seems really odd to me and I'm still trying to get use to zooming out for 35mm and zooming in for 70. Why is it backwards? I thought this was made by a German company in Japan, not Australia. No offense to Aussies now.

I'm so confused.

Canon's and Nikon's 24-70/2.8 zooms work similarly.
I don't know why that approach was chosen, but it's a proven
system with very good performance.
I read somewhere that the "reversed zooming" has to do with the hood. This way it's supposed to give maximum shielding effect at all focal lengths, but I don't have any such lens myself, so I don't know if it makes sense.
Krosavcheg has inspired me to put this lens my MarkIV.. it's been on moth balls for a long time, due to it being manual and occasional mirror hang on the 5D...no hang on the MarkIV so far.
I really love this lens. Stays on 24/7 now!
Looking forward to shots!!
