Sher, don't forget that it will take good portrait photos too if you've got the room to step back a few feet. Enjoy your new tool and remember to try the larger F-stops to help increase DOF with this lens. Since you're shooting on a tripod that shouldn't be a problem. Enjoy!

Make that the 'smaller" f/stops, please. Small apertures = more DOF, large apertures = less DOF. Granted, the terminology is confusing since "f/22" seems like a larger number than "f/4", but you have to understand those numbers are reciprocals. That is to say, f/22 has an aperture diameter 1/22nd of the focal length of the lens, whereas f/4 delivers an aperture 1/4th of the focal length of the lens.
