I'd just mug the geeky plane spotters that hang around the Heathrow perimeter road. Might bag a thermos of soup as a cheeky bonus.

That lens + photoshop's sharpening tool could have epic results imo.

Granted its a slow lens, for that price you don't expect f/1.8 though..

I saw something like that on ebay for about a quarter of that price.. was tempted to buy that for a lol

Infact:

The one alex posted is cheaper on ebay though:
