Initial impressions on editing are that the lens is very good, and that 
exposures are pretty much spot on. I had exactly half an hour between 
arriving home from the store and leaving for the shoot, so just fitting the 
strap was the only thing I really had time to do apart from setting the date 
and time, and selecting raw+jpeg. You can pretty much say I was shooting 
straight from the box.
