Stunning, awesome shots. Shove them in the face of anyone who says you can't get "creative", shallow DOF images on APS-C, much less on 4/3. That's utter rubbish and you (and the others) prove it time and again. But of course the measurebators would still disagree and keep theoreticizing.

Great thread! Really enjoy seeing shots from such a wide variety of fast glass. Some of my own with a D700 and 50mm f/1.2 AI-s.

Nice showing in this 1.2 lens thread.
A few from past weekend. Every time, I use this Nikkor 1.2, it give me some nice surprise. A truly gem. and under valued from any POV.

Yes, there is flare. Anytime, you are in back lit, you can expect this kind of flare. I didn't use hood.

I am not bothered much, it make photos a little more interesting.

thanks! the big problem with these fast lenses on cropped cameras is angle of view not dof. you can't get the dramatic perspectives that you could with a FF camera so one needs to look harder for ways to compose that utilize the narrow dof.
anyway a flower shot with the pen f 42/1.2:

and a ridiculous stitch with the rokkor 58/1.2:

If there's one thing I like from the Nikkors over Canon is the way contrast is handled. Canon tends to flatten this aspect while Nikkors seem to have bite and have an interesting signature. Your 50/1.2 seems to really exhibit this fingerprint. Fantastic shots.

Wonderful pictures here.
I expected to see great bokeh from Rokkor 58 and Nikon Ai, also expected to see good resolution from Canon 55 Asph and Pentax 50, but what I did not expect to see is an overall excellent draw and especially smooth and nice bokeh from Pen 42/1.2. (nice little gem)

the pen 42/1.2 can do beautiful things if you pay attention, but i don't think it's wide open bokeh is what most would consider smooth and nice (though it's no worse than my canon). here's a couple shots that show some of the funkiness (the first i wanted to look funky, the second i didn't):

and a couple of closeups with it showing it's spherical aberration and astigmatism:

since he put a II at the end of it, i presume it is the latest eos version. as OP i'm happy to see images from that non-alt lens in this thread.
here is the relavent quote form my OP:

i figured since the question of fast lenses and which are sharpest/have the best bokeh/will magically make me a decent photographer comes up a lot we should just start a thread showing examples from all our ultrafast lenses wide open to direct people to. so post any images you have from an f/1.2 or faster lens wide open even if it's not alt (for comparison purposes). please also post what format (e.g. 4/3, aps-c, FF, truck camera)

Canon 85L II...not sure if this is allowed here, as it is the EF and not really an alt.
