Something really nice about a coffee/tea mug and the relaxed comfort it brings...:) Like the effect also the blue and red colours of books, screen and mug... touch of yellow as a warmer and your away... Love the composition...
Nice experiment Robin...:) Can see this is not going to take long at all...:)

I love the way the lights in the monitor gently fill the background, and as Jan says, the sweet spot is quite small, so I'm guessing you used f/2.8. Sometimes to get the sweet spot even sweeter I'll add a dup layer, sharpen that, and then add a mask to remove the sharpening from the blurred bit. With a soft brush you can do it quite unnoticeably...if thats a word :) Looking forward to more :)

I am getting the 3G. (In for a penny, in for a pound). Like you I decided to wait on the macro but I did order the wide-angle/tele adaptors. I can't wait. Unfortunately I have a bad week ahead of me and will not "play" until the weekend. No doubt my first photos will be shooting mugs and art objects just to learn the ropes. --Jan

Good for you Jan...which did you get? Jeez, I'm excited for you! No add-ons, I was tempted to order the macro accessories also, but...figured I should get used to the lens before complicating things.
Thanks for looking, glad you like. Maybe not the most interesting shot but, I thought I would share my first attempts.
Take care...Robin

Robin - I couldn't wait; I ordered one. It is coming today by UPS. Looks like the sweet spot is very small so I'd guess f2.8. Did you use any add-ons to take this or just the LB? I did not order the macro accessory. --Jan PS: I like the results you got; looks like a lot of potential for this lens.
