@adamadam: It's just a rental bro... Go out and rent/play with it, it's fantastic

Here are some more from this afternoon.




Note the high shutter speed allowed me to freeze the raindrops.


Still straight jpegs from cam.

Definately a great lens, but the person that took the photos was even better... . I liked the shot of the wood files and the frozen raindrops the most. Keep it up!
