Quick test snap with my Hexanon 57mm f/1.2. I've had the lens for a while, but I just got my adapter for my Fuji X-E1. Unfortunately, the adapter release mechanism is shoddily made and won't lock the lens in place, but it's tight enough I can shoot with it in controlled environments without fear of losing the lens. A little filing should get it to work, though.

Anyway, just a fast office shot. The reduced pixel density of the X-E1 vs my m4/3 cams is noticeable...the lens is quite sharp on APS-C.

Uzay, I am sure you know how difficult it's to manually focus f/1.2 lenses, especially hand-held.
Live View is your friend. Maximum zoom in LV, magnifying loupe, cable release, MUP, patience following moving branches and few attempts will get desired part of a subject in decent focus


This shot was taken the same way. Check the 100% crop of dotted numbering, especially spacing between dots. This ain't a macro lens, but not too bad either. Said that, personally I don’t expect or want pictures taken at f/1.2 to be sharp.

Already posted these in the MFNG thread on the Nikon forum, but since this is dedicated to 1.2 glass, these are all wide open with the AI'd Nikkor 55mm f/1.2 SC.
