Not sure if it's the right word, but they look pixellated, like a computer game running with no anti-aliasing on.

I think thats down to the compression of the images for the web etc, not the actual photos.

I've printed at 19x13 ins with no pixellation so I think Greendubber is right. There is going to be a steep learning curve with this lens since it is far superior to anything I've ever used before, that's for sure. I forgot to mention I had the 1.4X converter on too. It is one heavy beast!

When you're posting images on PH make sure they are limited to 750 pixels wide to avoid the compression. Otherwise you do get funny effects and lines that dont appear to be straight etc etc...

Normally resize mine to 700 pixels wide if linking from photobucket or similar...
