I got my FD adapter today so I had to play around a little. A very quick comparison between FD 85/1.2 asph vs Pen 42/1.2 vs CV 35/1.2 v2 in my garden all lenses wide open. Same subject but from slightly different angles and distances. Mainly overcast with some changing sunlight, the light was definitely not constant. A bit windy, shot on tripod with 10s timer. Straight from NEX-5N JPG vivid. Click twice on the images to see them 1600 pixels wide.

And since I got time, I added a few lenses. I started with the 85mm and moved the tripod closer as I went to wider lenses. This was shot on my balcony, it was raining and the light didn't change too much.

Very nice comparison. Which lens do you prefer for portraits?

Beautiful. Bokeh of the hexanon is a bit harsher, but still beautiful.

The thing with Nokton (or at least my copy) is that there is a lot more detail there than may appear due to fairly low contrast wide open. So it sharpens up quite nicely if you so wish.

+1, the amount of detail is amazing, stopping down improve the contrast, but most of the detail is already there wide open.
