I love this lens ..

One question:

Why ISO 6400(?!) .,.. but NEX is a really good camera -

high ISO is a very good test in this case

+1 over exposed as well, why ?

This is my first time ever to try iso 6400 on the nex5n.
and my second photo from iso6400.

The first photo is taken by the pentax K5 at iso 6400. Usable in emergency cases.
Nex5n has the same high iso capability as the K5, but good to test out the limits.
I was intend to create film-like effect with grainy, but so far it is not as i want it to be without added noise in PP.

Overexposure? 1/4000s is the fastest I can go with the nex5n.
I also tried to capture this image with 1/2000, to wash out the background even more.
With heavy push of black level, the subject remains and background almost white,
with slightly colored bokeh as signature of a f1.2 lens.

Original files flare a lot. As long as the flare spots do not hit the subject, it's ok for me.

It's not often I play with PP or push the electronics to the limits, but this is a fun creative workout.
If I had a colored gel and a flash with me that day, I would tweak the WB to put the scene in twilightzone too...
