To explain: The four tested 1.2s where so bad that you could see CA in the unscaled picture. None of them found any focus (with my 5D MKII, a 1D MKiV or a 1Ds MK III.). My dealer told me (thank you) \"Ralph, forgett them. I will call you when we get a new production charge.\" Of course, they where all sold before. And of course they could be fixed (I guess). But that is not what I am looking for. Why purchasing a lense at 2.8 if I can use it at f: 8.0?
For that I do not need the light wide opened. An 50mm 1.4 that does not make great pictures at 1.4 is just a fraud. Nothing else.
