The first production units have started to ship in Europe and other parts of the world. We'll start to receive our first units in the US in the next two weeks. Not having had a chance to shoot with this lens, I was pleasantly surprised to see some early sample photos from Richard Day, who lives in the UK. Here's a link to some of his
DA*60-250 test photos on Flickr. Here's another series of photos Richard took to show the
background blur (bokeh) produced by this lens using some nice tomatoes in the foreground.
