Thanks Wayne - yes it is sharp across the frame not only in centre like most fast 50mm.

This test was on Fredmiranda before

So my Oly zuiko has arrived and i am ready for another major shootout. I will do the test of sharpness a bit late.

That´s a cool amp, Dmitry - you should drop a tube behind that lens and do some macros there

Just snapped a few shots on my camera store's 5D with my new OM 50/1.2. Having had the OM 55/1.2 I have to say I am MUCH happier with this lens. It is faster and MUCH sharper:

Nate the bokeh on that is crazy, looks like a thumb print in some spots.

Here is some from the Canon FL 55/1.2

wide open. I like it lots. just enough definition to give the eye lots to examine without being distracting.

Pity about the glow on the highlights wide open, next week I will paint the mount black. shooting at f1.4 kills a lot of the glow and sharpens things up nicely.

Now a shot at f2 for comparison: creamy smooth and very sharp.

I can't let this thread fall off the front page.

Here are some minimum focusing distance shots taken with the Leica 90AA, it is said that this lens is no good at MFD, I would say it is far from optimal but still ok. The first two at ISO3200, the third at ISO1250, and the last at ISO200 on 5D Mark II. All taken wide open while walking my dog after sunset.

Brainiac should like these ones, the plane of focus has much higher contrast than the diffuse areas, similar to Zeiss offerings.

Thankyou ovredal, I like that little Nikon, both Ulrik and yourself get very moody and interesting shots from it.

Dan! Every time I forget your first name I look in your profile to no avail

I love the Nikkor - it is currently my most used lens. And it gives spectacular, interesting bokeh for such a wide lens:

I absolutely love that...
this lens is looking pretty attractive to me right now. I should hurry along with my FD 35/2 and Hexanon 35/2 conversions and see if they are good enough to satisfy me after seeing all these nikkor pics ;]

Sorry André, I've fixed that now.

I like the shot of the computer next to the fence as well

I think your images speak volumes about your processing capabilities as well as your photographic technique and lens selection.

Dan, Max - thank you !

This lens is so small and lightweight. Carrying a 5d2 over my shoulder all day, it is a wonderful tool. I have tried pre-ai versions of this lens as well as a host of other 35s - Leica, Contax, Oly, Canon L, non L... This is my favorite.

Also I would like to show off another lens I was shooting with for a few days. The Oly 55/1.2. It can give crazy and smooth bokeh, depending on what you shoot.
Actually I find it kind of similar to the 35AIs that way.

5d2, olympus 55/1.2:

Hi Jay, it's fine - but it is of interest knowing *what* gear!

André, your black and white Noct Nikkor images (p42, post5) made me return twice. I liked them quite a lot.
