Beautiful shots. I own an FD 55mm f/1.2 SSC -- wish it were the aspherical model, but I'm still glad to have it.

I bought mine last year and I haven't shot with it much yet, so I'm not all that familiar with its performance. But I have done some shooting with it wide open, mostly just to see how sharp it was. I found that its sharpness is actually quite good at f/1.2, but the depth of field is so shallow that I have to pay close attention to my own movements because the slightest move forward or backward can render out of focus images.

I would like to see a test one day comparing the Aspherical with the regular version. Do you know of any?
