Great pics, congrats!
I do own this lens in N/AI mount and can confirm the built quality (although the "grit" feeling you mentioned was more apparent in my copy - had to remove the focusing ring assembly in order to tighten some screws underneath for a complete remedy). Btw, I still struggle to focus @ f/1.2 with such thin DoF... |

The only downside to this lens is the size of it. I like to carry 3 or 4 lenses in my bag, when I go out for a drive, but it's often a struggle when this beast is in the bag (it's always in my bag!).
"get a bigger bag" I hear you say, good advice So I'm awaiting delivery of the 30lt Peak Design Everyday Backpack https://www.peakdesign.com/everyday-backpack which should be ideal for my needs.
At f1.2 there's often a slight glow around subjects, though not always obvious. At all other apertures, this lens offers outstanding performance. I was hesitant about spending the money on this (I'm not well off) but now, I have no regrets at all.
If you have an opportunity to buy one, I highly recommend you do so.

Here are a couple unedited images I shot with the ZYOptics 85mm Speedmaster f/1.2 on my Fujifilm X-T2. Both were taken with the aperture wide open at f/1.2.
For those who may be interested, I paid < $400 for this lens in Nikon F mount. That's an excellent value for the results IMO. |

Thanks. It's easy to see from all the shots in this thread that it's definitely fun to shoot wide open.
If you close down to f/2 or so it's really sharp. |
