Though I had the MKI it is one of the few lenses I sometimes regret selling.

Probably the unique combination of the object isolation at f/2 combined with the compression of a 200mm lens and buttery smooth boke which makes these kind of images standout from most other lenses, thanks for bringing back some fine memories of these optical gems  :)
Cheers,
Jan Anne

The first one looks the best to me.  The flowers look as if they are spotlighted, which is enhanced by the slight overall underexposure.

It must be a real joy to use such a lens.
The roses are scatered rather nicely :)

Thank you guys.
This lens and the 105mm f/1.4G are wonders of optical design, and a joy to use.
