Im going nuts waiting for FedX and I need to leave soon. I have to sign so may have to go down there tonight
I'm finding the option to have FedEx drop off signature required packages at my neighborhood Walgreen's helpful at times like this. Do you have that option available where you live?
Great time to do testing with Christmas tree lights. On January 1st we can do bokeh test with champagne bottles. That should be a natural given that nobody will be able to focus.
Okay I had to go to Fedx office 30 miles away to go pick up after they tried to delivery. Had to leave so give me a few and I’ll shoot that lens. Really looking forward to getting the 50 back. Last time I had it was with the A7rII and not with the updated firmware. So hoping it’s fast and accurate now.
Not perfectly round and maybe a slight hint of onion but by far the best on this test. Now that was worth getting this lens back . I need to test it but AF does seem far better than what I remember . I know what this test will make me do is buy the GM 85. I gotta stop testing gear.
Actually F2 looks really nice and to be honest from testing this lens before it gets it going at f 1.7. 1.4 is lovely but it picks up resolution at F1.7 on center. Really the same with the GM 85 as they really are F 1.7 lenses at least as far as being dead sharp on center. F1.4 is the dreamy look

Agree Fred this looks damn nice for sure. Really glad i bought it now
I still have the CV 40 to test and there is talk that they reduced the onion ring on it so I know both Fred and I are anxious to see if that is the case. Certainly going to test it next week.
