Here are some samples with the 1.2/58 lens converted on a Sony Alpha fullformat camera (A850):

Before buying this lens, try to know what you are getting first. This thing is everything I bargained for. It makes my work look like it has melted oil painting backgrounds.

I had been reading about this lens for years, I just had to have it! If you have read the articles and seen the pictures posted all over the place, you either know you want this lens, or you don't. If you do (and you know who you are), it is everything you dreamed it was.

All following images are taken with f1.2

Welcome aboard! Nice portraits!

Your first post can't contain images (antispam measure) from now on you'll be fine.

Photos taken with f1.2:










Then of course sharpness. Well this is yet another surprise.
While this is a standard prime, the depth of focus, while shooting with open aperture, is quite thin.
Nevertheless I never have trouble focusing on the main subject in the composition.
Even on the A850 I can achieve sensor limited resolution...so 24.6 megapixel of shear resolving power Wink

The following images are taken with f2.8
