After the first 20 shots or so I thought I put it back on eBay. But now, after a few months? Favorite lens, with the Fuji XE1 I am able to produce crisp shots from f1.2 on. Not easy wide open but it never was. Overall a very good lens, very happy with it, also great for black and white... rnGreat deal for a 1.2! See as well: www.flickr.com/photos:jensaddis
I suppose this is the cheapest way to get an f/1.2 lens today. Vignetting is severe even on color negative film. Don't ask about edge sharpness. But it is f/1.2. Shot wide open you get that wonderful shallow DOF that makes normal scenes look like desktop models. And it takes 52 mm filters. And unlike Canon's fast EOS lenses it focuses reliably - because you focus it. Of course get the 50/1.2L if you can but expect to pay for the privilege.
