ok the pics kinda made me want to stay away. so is it human error or lens issue? 
Oops... looks like i got more to learn. perhaps you would like to show us ur expertise how we can bring the lens to its full potential?
It's a learning forum for all...
well this isn't a forum to comment on skills, those were just some random shots taken to show what the lens is capable of without thinking so much on composition and I do not think there is a problem with exposure, since i was just trying to capture the same light conditions as my eye sees without compensation. Why don't you show us some pics which do justification to the lens then?
u want a completely random shot? here's one, ISO 200, F4. I was terribly bored up there so I just snapped whatever my eye saw.
the bottomline, as many others have tried to tell you, is that the lens is capable of MUCH MORE than your pics.
Do you think that showing ignorance to the technicals will bring out the full potential to a lens? How can one show off a lens' full potential with no regard for exposure and composition?
Here are some for Canon mount (no built-in motor, but optics wise, should be identical), which I feel bring out the colour rendition and resolving power of the lens.
No post-processing done. Image straight out of camera.
Noise-reduction, typography added. No other post-processing.
B&W conversion, clone stamp for skin, Levels adjustment, vignetting. No other adjustments.

Nice pics you have there. Did not expect the lens to produce such qualities!:thumbsup:
To TS, from your shots, do you think this is a good lens? From your first post, you seem happy with it. So don't need to worry, just enjoy shooting with this lens.
For me, this lens represents super value for money. However, IMHO, if you cannot see how Calebk's shots are technically superior, then you have bought yourself an expensive toy for snapshots. Should have stuck with your kit lens.

If you fail to see how these pictures demonstrate the superiority of this lens, are not open to constructive criticism, and have to get personal, then I have nothing to say to you. I suggest you shoot more and exercise more humility in place of the sour-grapes-outlook; it gets you places. Perhaps you've also failed to understand the mood of the person in the photo, at the point it was taken.
In case you don't know, the use of Photoshop is likened to how a proficient film photographer does his darkroom work; in the digital workflow, Photoshop is the digital darkroom. I did state that in all of these shots, no enhancement to colour or sharpness is done.
no doubt the TS shots are way too random (doesnt show the full potential of the lens), but it is possible to take a decent pic even without pp is just that needs years of shooting to get there.
pp is just a shortcut way to adjust settings when you forget to do it in the cam.
so cut him some slack there (who knows he might just be a rookie only)...this is not really a critque sub-forum after all.
to TS maybe you can try taking test shots of sharpness lvl instead.
or you can close this thread and move on before some words really get to you.
likewise AG outings is a gd way to learn especially when there is less equipment talk.
