I was thinking about picking one of these up and was wondering if anyone could provide some feedback on it. How is it wide open? Pretty sharp overall? I would love to see some sample shots. Thanks in advance.

I use the 150 quite a lot, but rarely wide open. It's a good, sharp lens. There are a few examples in the 'Garden Notebooks' portfolio in the link below. Numbers 2, 3, 4, 8 and 20 were taken with the 150. Even if you aren't a subscriber to Usefilm, you can see the large version by clicking on 'large'.

Best,
Helen
