This is not an easy lens to use.
Some things that look like good subjects are just horrible.
And the reverse.

There is a lot of discovery to be done.

Jack, the weed image is very much to my liking :)

Love the shot of the weed, Jack.

Yes, Like Jakov says it's an a-typical lens which needs a different approach.  ;)   A great lens but with the lowest rate of keepers ever ! 

The point is also, evaluation on the camera-screen is not always efficient, so in post-processing things get more clear, usually.

The parallel-Universe metaphor is apt. With this Heligon, and in fact with all similar lenses, one really needs to re-think what one wants to do with the camera and lens.

I took the Heligon today for a spin. With the D700, I hope it still counts

Jack, it sure is good! You caught the wind wonderfully!
Paco, that's beautiful, of course it counts!
