Plus, at (extremely) high shutter speed (anything higher than 1/1000sec.) the bokeh is rendered not as smooth as it would be at slow shutter speed, at least in theory. The mechanical shutter is NOT in the same plane but it is in the front of the electronic shutter (=sensor).

Edited for clarification

Thanks Joshua. Interesting.

The truncated bokeh is from using EFCS at high shutter speeds. Full mechanical shutter and e-shutter won't show those issues (they have their own though).

I carry a CPL on my Voigtlander 40/1.2 all the time in case I forget to switch shutter modes it helps to lower shutter speed a bit to lessen the effect.

I love this lens wide open. It seems to have just the right amount of depth of field for portraits and then an elegant transition to oof.

They certainly are great dogs. 🙂. I love how they don’t have an aggressive bone in their bodies.

Sparky just turned eight. We hope to have him around a few more years. I need to take more pictures of him!

Awake. And then done. The amazing part is these were taken in an almost dark living room. F1.2 really has its benefits.

Just got this lens a week ago, of course it's been raining since I got it. But managed to get outside. I'm an old school Canon 50L shooter and loved the "look" when you could nail it just right.....accounting for focus shift etc...But shooting this new GM, especially with eye focus tracking is on another level...Just amazing.

Man, just splurged on a new 50 1.2 GM from B&H. EDU discount + PayBoo tax free makes it hurt a bit less. 🥹 Need it for a big shoot in December. Can't wait to use it!

Got the lens today. The IQ is amazing. So clean, so bokeh.

Quite big and hefty. Chunkier and longer than the 35 1.4 GM. Same external design and build quality.

My lens' "A" isn't aligned perfectly either lol

Just got my 50GM - feels like it could be my perfect walk-around point-and-shoot at f1.2 lens. Excitement about how it performs at 1.2 helps me not notice it is heavier than 35GM, at least for now.

Examining photos in this thread makes me feel that out-of-focus rendering of 50GM is often busier than of 35GM?

As audience is not necessarily the same as CV50APO-L thread, I'm adding a few shots to show rendering at medium distance at different apertures.

I got some shots with both eCurtain and Silent Shutter off. Was in a hurry to catch the dying light so I grabbed 35APO-L instead of 50APO-L - so no comparison this time. Much less light so conditions are much easier for the lens. Converted to jpeg in Lightroom, no lens corrections.
