Excellent as always!
It's also really nice, that you always show both versions, colour and b&w.

Thank you!, indeed wide open is twin ice often go to crap , soft unusable, so I rarely do and usually left for last in series if come out okay I am happy if not I not lost any thing due I have stopped down well made pictures already, I know big fuss about wide open so I make some

The Rokkor 50/1.2 is such a grat lens. It's a pity that it is so overshadowed by the 58/1.2 in popularity. The 58/1.2 with it's quirky bokeh at f1.2 and unbelievebly smooth bokeh at f2 is special, but the 50/1.2 is the better lens technically.
