This lens has become available in some stores this week, and people are starting to get their copies. Mine I think is backordered, but coming soon. Anyone use this lens yet? If so show some results?

Yes, I'm wondering as well. Actually considering taking up an EOS-1 body just for that one lens. Not that I Need another 50mm......

Someone just received this lens today and posted some sample pics from it. He was using a 1DSmk2 camera and shot it at several f stops. He used a little unsharp mask with these pics.
