p.21 #3f/1.2 or faster lenses wide open
Thank you!
It is a great lens, ...when I bought it i thought it was the end of the road ... but then I discovered Leica
So many good lenses out there, just not enough money
I tend to decide which lens to take when I see its bokeh (hence my humble collection) , this one is quite good but pastel-like which may be too plasticky at times ... but I see others exibit the same behaviour...
At night things change... and it is excellent performer in every way and has no real flaws unlike other 50's.
All the best.

Nice abstracts Stelya! Does remind me of a lot of bokehabstacts I made some years ago.
Here is one from the time. ( This one is one time mirrored and flipped in PS )

And a more recent one with the Rokkor 58 from a lovely coast town in NW Spain called Casto-Urdiales.

Lots of fun images since I last posted, especially enjoying some of your film shots sebboh!
All of mine with the NIKKOR 50mm f/1.2 AI-s. My daughter was born earlier this month (maybe we were at the same hospital Steve? Sunybrook for me).

Out for a drink a few nights ago after getting my little one down.

posted this elsewhere but figured it was more appropriate here – an example of typical rokkor 58/1.2 performance wide open in a worse case scenario (bright back lighting) on a NEX-7, which has much higher pixel density than say the d800:
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8459/8046348865_78f640510e_o.jpg
and the 100% crop:
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8310/8046348929_f0ce7e116c_o.jpg
yeah, at 100% it could be sharper and contrastier, but it'll do and that's an incredible pixel density (note: focus is on the eyes).
here's what the 100% crop would look like at the d800's pixel density:
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8461/8046412302_11bd16ab2e_o.jpg
or at the pixel density of the lowly a99/a900 (still higher than any canon FF):
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8320/8046412358_2cdaa81a94_o.jpg
i think it's sharp enough for me to be happy with 13"x19" prints taken at f/1.2, but i'm not as picky as some...
oh, and just for the sake of ridiculousness, here is a shot focused at infinity wide open:
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8460/8073361626_a9a0416df6_o.jpg
100% center crop:
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8030/8073361722_08ccf26b61_o.jpg
100% corner crop:
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8319/8073361680_624b54fd3d_o.jpg
i think it would probably look sharper if there had been less atmospheric haze and i had used a hood.
