Hi folks,
First of all, many thanks to many of for chiming in with your advice on the 35mm and 100/135mm lens post I had put earlier. On the short telephoto front, I purchased a 100/2 CY from Taul ["teh_rebel"] earlier this month. Well, to say that I am deeply impressed with this lens is a massive understatement! It is amazing and deserves every bit of the praise it gets.
In this last month, this lens has been on my 5d2 almost constantly and I've given it a solid workout in terms of landscapes and portraits. My intitial keeper rate with the stock focussing screen was low, but with the Eg-S screen, the keeper rate improved a lot and I got a lot of good handheld shots at f/2.
I could write reams of praise about this lens, but a few pictures might do the job more elegantly. Sorry, these are still in sRGB due to user error
and not optimally resized yet, got to fix that next time I post!
I also cross posted some images taken with my 100/2 CY at the landscape forum [mods: I hope this is ok]

Anyway, here we go:
"Brilliance" [never expected a blue sky with white clouds would make for a good bokeh shot!]

I think this is one of, if not the best 100mm lenses. The color and sharpness wide open is unbelievable and the contrast is just so right.
Very interesting and colourful shot.

A bit more depth information above, but not a strong example for 3D yet.

With all these snaps, the PP I did was mainly apply the stock Adobe standard picture style, and pull the midtones by 5 points in LR3. Didn't boost the saturation in these. The srGB conversion has crushed the colors somewhat.
