I still try to like this lens, it was after sunset but those lens are made for that
last time I used it wide open (click here) and was not satisfied, this time at f2, next time I will try 2.8








but when the night get dark I take the distagon 35 1.4 Smile (all WO 3200 iso 1/50s )

Lovely set of images poilu. I like the Rokkor images. I think it is a good idea with all the very fast lenses to stop them down when there is strong sunlight. Like you said, that is how they are supposed to be used. The f/1.2 is a tool for low light shooters, not for bokeh nuts Wink

fast lenses are not for low light shooters anymore
take this shot, it is taken with the rokkor at f1.2, 3200 iso 1/8s
the fast lens didn't help, the pic is blurred with ghosts
with a f1.4 the speed would have been 1/6s and result about the same
with the latest bodies, I could have taken this pic at f4 1/100s 102400 iso
the quality should have be much better thanks to the f4 and 1/100s
but even when the bodies will do 10000000 isos, only fast lens will give extra bokeh
fast lenses are for bokeh nuts Wink

many times I have read good things about this lens, here I can see why.
the bokeh is 'butter fantastic '
