As per Sebbohs request, these are crossposted from the Noct-Nikkor 58/1.2 thread. All are shot wide open with a Nikon D700. The first five are slightly cropped sideways, but the rest are untouched.
Quick test snap with my Hexanon 57mm f/1.2. I've had the lens for a while, but I just got my adapter for my Fuji X-E1. Unfortunately, the adapter release mechanism is shoddily made and won't lock the lens in place, but it's tight enough I can shoot with it in controlled environments without fear of losing the lens. A little filing should get it to work, though.
Anyway, just a fast office shot. The reduced pixel density of the X-E1 vs my m4/3 cams is noticeable...the lens is quite sharp on APS-C. http://www.jordansteele.com/2013/joedon1.jpg
Uzay, I am sure you know how difficult it's to manually focus f/1.2 lenses, especially hand-held.
Live View is your friend. Maximum zoom in LV, magnifying loupe, cable release, MUP, patience following moving branches and few attempts will get desired part of a subject in decent focus
Already posted these in the MFNG thread on the Nikon forum, but since this is dedicated to 1.2 glass, these are all wide open with the AI'd Nikkor 55mm f/1.2 SC.

sweet!
haven't seen much from that lens, most people seem to favor the 50/1.2 ais.
