Nice shots. The colours really jump out. Did you do any PP?

Gary, I haven't really taken that many shots with it, but for a preliminary observation, here goes:

Pros:
Light and easy to carry
Well constructed (but not in L class, like 17-40 for eg)
Silent motor
Easy manual focus if needed
Colours are vibrant
Minor lens distortion for a lens of this focal length

Cons:
Edges of image (at 10mm) are soft but that is expected from an UWA lens
Relatively expensive lens compared to competition
Lens hood not included in price

All in all I'm very happy with the purchase. I'm off to NZ next weeks for a 5 week work stint but will have some spare days around Tekapo / Queenstown / Taranaki / Taupo to put this lens through it's paces.
