Thanks Burningheart!
I think this lens will become legendary in a few more years.
The Sony A900 gang are really enjoying it. I am on my 1lds3.

After comparing it to the 135L, one of Canon's best lenses,
this lens is the sharpest lens wide open at 1.8 and sharp
across the frame along with an extra 1/3 stop more of buttery bokeh
than the 135L. Also, alot less LoCA than the 135L.
This lens along with my Leica 100 APO and 180 APO 2.8 lenses are a special set of high resolving glass perfect for the 1ds3.

Cheers, /Jonas
What are you using to adapt the Pen F lenses to the G1? I'd like to see some 42/1.2 shots!

Hi,

I'm sorry for the late reply, I missed your post.
I use one end half of the parts of an extension tube set together with a C-mount->G1 adapter. It owrks fine. Recently eBay seller jinfinance announced a dedicated adapter.

The 42/1.2... yes, I wish I had one. You can find some samples in this thread over at GetDPI and also a slightly misfocused portrait furrther down in the same thread.

Anthony,

Yes, you could have done that - and still can; make a new post here, please make direct links so the images show up and let us know what lens(es) that came to use. If they are "admirable" that is... most stuff goes...

Thanx! Nice shots with the 50 1.0L--there is magic air between the elements in that lens!

Thanx Anden! The detail in that shot on the 35L really amazed me. I love it's rendering style. Here's the 100% crop of the bee in that photo:

Is that some LoCA that I see? Still, I love the rendering. What's a 1.0L go for nowadays? Still in the $5K range?

I'm finding the smooth buttery bokeh of the Sigma 50 wide open to be too "blurry" sometimes. It seems to transition from sharp to blur in a flash. Too quickly perhaps?

#1. This shot was at f2.8 to get some definition in the background:

That's the same reasoning I used to keep my Zuiko 50/1.2 or the Rokkor 58/1.2 I had. I also preferred the more natural color from the Zuiko.

Hmmmm .... different strokes for different folks I guess. I prefer the "less busy" and smoother bokeh of the Rokkor. Having said that, I will probably keep the Canon FL and sell the Rokkor. As a normal lens, the Canon is more practical as it gets very sharp from f2.0 and I can focus to infinity. The Rokkor is only sharp from f2.8 and you cannot get infinity focus on FF which bothers me quite a bit.

Must be fun to shoot with.

Its a lot of fun, challenging, and frustrating especially at F1.0 the area in focus is so small, the softness and the glow that often appears at 1.0. It takes a very long time to get used to shooting it and learning the strengths and weaknesses and even then you hope 1 out 30 shots turn out okay. But I wouldn't sell it for anything. There maybe better lens out there for sharpness etc but this little baby has its own uniquess. This year I plan on doing more shooting with extension tubes and Infrared.

A little, around $4K-4.5K from a dealer, little less on ebay or an individual.

Thanks. There sure is. I was pondering last night while out shooting, if the new 1.2L when it was in the prototype stage if it was ever tested at 1.0 or 1.1 before they finally finsihed off and made it a 1.2. I also wondered if the front element had been increased to 77 or 82mm what difference that may have made.

Nice bee shot you took.

Ah, no problem. It took 10 seconds to edit. Thank you for the update. /Jonas

@burningheart:
I wonder, is it possible to make you post more images taken with the Coastal Optics 60mm macro?

The images seen here and in digitalloyd's review are so clear and free from aberrations... Santa told me I have behaved, but not USD 4.500 good, so now I have to save money myself to get it. I don't ask if the lens is worth it - I just would like to see images with busy backgrounds, maybe some highlights also, and learn more before committing myself to a long time on bread and water only. Oh, also; any flare problems?

if you have the time,
