Well, I'm glad you like how it looks but my point is the lens does not produce an artistic image. I see there are a few photographers that agree with me but the rest of the naive crowd focusing on how it looks and how sharp these clinical images are...
The lens can make a good image but you have to work really hard to get it - It has no 'special character, it has no 'special' colors or bokeh, it has nothing 'special'... Sorry, forgot! It looks good!
Wow...don't know who you're talking to but I guess you don't like this lens

It's up to the photographer, not the lens, to produce an artistic image. This lens is fantastic. Obviously it's not a character lens that creates attention with effects, but it's pretty special nevertheless.

I’ve never met an artistic lens. Mostly they are glass, metal, and plastic and have very few if any artistic motivations.

Trigger Warning 2.0 since we’ve got a few wrapped items in this thread. A1. Shot w 50 1.2
I like my stuff scratch free. Not a video shooter so heat isn’t a concern. IMO it’s “far from good but good from far”

After seeing a post on FM, I have now wrapped 12 of my lenses with the Alphagvrd product and absolutely love how they came out. I would like to cover my A1 and A7RIV (I also do very little video), but I'm intimidated by the complexity of the install. Can you offer any words of wisdom on this?

Hmmm… I would say in my case reading glasses
,very good lighting and an Old Fashioned.
I didn’t bother with the tweezers for wrapping the lenses but found them useful for the body. The one thing I encountered with the body that was different than the lenses was air bubbles. Luckily this stuff is ok with being removed/adjusted.
I will also have a hair dryer ready for the next installation to warm the vinyl up a hair. Haven’t used one yet but we’ll see how it goes.
GL!

How long did it take to get your skins? I ordered the lens caps three weeks ago and they still haven’t shipped.

Sorry for jumping in…
Lens caps are special order and take longer.
In stock skins usually take a week or two for me.
Cheers
George

I made three orders. They took 7 to 10 days. I would contact them, directly. They ship USPS and you know how that can go this time of the year.

The ability to get focused action shots at f/1.2 with this lens is pretty incredible...I wouldn't have even tried a lot of these back in my Canon days with the 50L.
