In the mean time, I too would like to know more about the lesser contrast.[/quote]
Well, that's quite common with fast glass. Wide open, the contrast is a bit lower than slightly stopped down. It's well visible in the bokeh fringing samples, but these are shot at rather close focus, where many lenses lack contrast anyway. So, the issue is emphasized in these shots.
In the field, it's less of an issue though. And, at least when shooting RAW, the cure is quite simple and only one slider move away <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Also, is it possible to get a photo with some bright shiny objects in the back round wide open?

I'll try, but I'm traveling for a few days and don't have that lens with me. Anything you're particularly interested in?
