Outstanding images with No.4 being out of this world. Love that you got the entire subject in focus and still able to obscure the background.

Great as always
!
BTW, did you comparing the GM to Nikon's 50/1.2 S?
Thanks !
Not directly but I did between Canon / Sony and Canon / Nikon. So results in terms of sharpness and to make it short are (Canon = Sony) > Nikon.
In terms of weight / dimensions / portability: Sony (much lighter) > Canon > Nikon (awefully huge)
In terms of AF noise, the Sony is silent so if video is a concern then it's important.
In conclusion they all are very good / Excellent wide open with 2 of them being exceptional lenses.

I shot a little with this lens today. Its so good! Such a difference between it at 1.2 and the 35GM at 1.4. Really noticeable! I can’t afford to drop 3K on a lens (Cdn) but it was fun to test drive!

I don't know what "it" is, but this lens certainly seems to have it.
Never really been a 50mm guy, but I'll admit this thread made me check the Buy & Sell to see what prices are like...

Seeing a number of shots here where nothing seems to be in critical focus...

'Seeing a number of shots'
Fast 50mm lenses are perhaps new to many users. Subject choice and isolation is critical, particularly when buyers feel compelled to shoot at f1.2 - the raison d'etre of the lens. These decisions have little to do with focus speed or even AF. The lens gets used in many casual settings. People like the bokeh very much, so much so that, often in an inverted way, it becomes the mainstay of the images.

Yep.
I've shot fast (1.1, 1.2, 1.4) lenses for many years.
Takes time and experience to realize that sometimes stopping down a bit makes for a more compelling image.
IMO some focal point should be (relatively) sharp.
Otherwise I can sorta do the same thing with f/2 and missed focus.

I was looking through the Metadata on hundreds of shots I have taken with this lens and realized that the only aperture I have shot with this lens is f1.2. One day, I should try it stopped-down for the heck of it... well, maybe.

What do you mean stopped-down? I don't understand.
