That is fab. You have to tease us with your new lens, right? i can not imagine a sharper image than that

 

[pictaker64]

I am hoping it works well for portraits,an area I am extremely novice at.

It will work GREAT as a portraiture lens - it is sharp, has a good bokeh and low amount of distortions. Here is a portrait taken with 24-120mm set to 50mm, f/4, D7000, from a distance of ~ 1,5 meter:

NOW I'm seeing Bates!

@Jonathan: "Bates" in what sense of the word?
Pictaker64 was pondering over the use of a 50mm lens for portraiture (since there is/was a lot of discussions on whether is 50mm focal length suitable for that purpose or not - many photographers believe that it is too short to be used as a portraiture lens, especially when mounted on a full frame camera)...

That was a rude allusion back to the conversation about a snap of a neon motel sign. The lady above is probably your recently deceased favourite aunt and so my joke is probably in bad taste. They usually are.

No problem, no hard feelings at all. It's the photo of my mom (she is alive&well, by the way:victorious. So, you aimed at the "Bates motels" or something like that (I am very fond of English language and british/american culture in general, so I use every opportunity to learn some new facts, allusions, proverbs, non-standard/colloquial expressions etc.- that's why I was so amused with this remark of yours)...
