Thank you. Maybe 'interesting' is not the first word that comes to mind.

Very confusing to the eye: blurred peripheries with a central clearing, a tunnel effect. It must replicate some form of glaucoma. Take this lense and show it to an optician before it gets any worse.

And summer will be here in a day or two.

Thank you. I have cooked a new one up and named it after you. You will nevertheless need bifocals to examine it.

I doubt I was using this 180mm lens properly. On a D300s the field of view is 270mm and thus there is quite a strong selective enlargement. Moreover, I wasn't very distant from the scene. Thus the subject fills more of the frame with a higher magnification, and that is what causes the shallower depth of field. A telephoto lens enlarges out of focus regions because it enlarges the background relative to the foreground. This can create the appearance of a shallower depth of field. I was shooting hand held at f/8 with a shutter speed of 1/250th at ISO 800. You have to maintain high shutter speeds with long telephoto lenses. Maybe a tripod and closing down to f/16 would have produced a better picture.
