I say there's nothing wrong with seeing a hexagon here and there.

50mm Summicron, 36-mm tube, Canon 1.4x TC. Somewhere between f/4 and f/8.

Thanks Ralph! I think the Nikon magnifying eyepiece certainly helps - thanks to you!

Nikkor 50/1.2 AI @ f/1.2 on D700:

Quite a mess, but I actually like it! Even though there is a bright outline to the blur discs, the edges are smooth. What is worse is the LCA. Look at the greenish glow in the transitions from light to dark in the sweater of the guy to the right.

You have to ask?

It's quickly becoming my favorite lens, overshadowing even the Rokkor 58 and Nikkor 105.

I'm still looking for a sensational 35/1.4 though. I have a thing for this focal length, it works out well for street photography.

Here is how it looks when stopped down, f4:

Nice! (It's my fav too)

9-bladed aperture showing good form, there

I'll have some shots from Sunday's wedding to show you sometime this week. This lens is just ridiculously good

Please do, I look forward to it.

It was a toss up between the old grandpa SSC and the FD L, I'm glad I went for the SSC instead, considering how close in price they were.

The octagonal aperture iris can be found on many 8-bladed versions, including the new EF L I and II, but 9 blades exclusively hold something special to the SSC version.

Speaking of rounded blades, here's some more Ultron love @ f/2.8 on FF.

I agree. This was one of the reasons I chose this one over the FD L. I also think this version has better CA control.

I have tons of stuff to go through from the wedding, but here are a couple that show some admirable blur and the shockingly good wide-open performance of this lens:

And a 100% crop, to show what I mean (I think this was f1.4, actually):

I can only imagine what the EF would have done to this watch. Absolutely no CA reduction or correction of any sort has been done here. What little you do see is SOOC.
