Absolutely wonderful!!! Does the autofocus works? They look so sharp! Are crops or you posted the full frame?

Thank you, the autofocus was quick and accurate. Having all the focus points to select from was excellent and gave me greater flexibility when composing a shot. They have all been cropped by various amounts.
