Street Shots with 75mm f1.8...

My first outing with the new Oly 75mm was to take some street shots in Canterbury - C&C welcome!

I think I love this lens already!

Rivals the 45

I find from looking at your images that it rivals the 45mm lens for sharpness. Two excellent lenses to have in your kit bag.

Yes, those are good captures and color processing is also nice. Approximately how far away are you from the subjects? I have the 45mm, this also looks like a good addition.

That lens is good nice Bokeh .. I would tone down the OOF highlights in the background just a little in some of the images

Great shots!! I just picked up my new 75mm yesterday and can't wait to test it out, I now have the 12mm, 25mm, 45mm, and the 75mm in the primes, the complete kit, I can't believe the quality feel of the 75mm, it is an absolute ripper

Thanks for the comments - I'm not sure of the exact distance but I guesambiguous 5-10 metres.
