It’s almost like photography is way more than what lens is being used, and is rather a reflection of the skills of the photographer. I assume the Plena in the same hands would result in equally beautiful work

Outstanding series, my compliments!

(PS: IMHO only, this lens used properly like you did here, blows the Plena away in final product -- flamesuit donned )

Much appreciated. The 85/1.2 has been my workhorse since the day it delivered. It’s for sure a good time to be a Nikon shooter.

Thank you!
Both are just fantastically good lenses. Z9 + Nikon z glass is such a joy to work with.

Love the shots in this thread! I'm buying a GFX 50R just to play with, and if I don't like it, will swap it for an 85/1.2 instead

That looks amazing. Like a large format. Would love to see it larger, 6-8k something like that.

At least the 50% of eyes (partially more) in focus. Shows the ambivalence of these lenses when used without the rounded blades...

What if instead of Giuseppe I allow Kry27 to write again that a eye is not in focus with a photo of Costanzo?

Sorry, I don't understand your reply. What does ambivalence mean in this context? Are blades not round and if not where do you see non-round blades in this image? Thanks.

I think he means that if one uses a lens with so many blades as the 85/1.2 by stopping down the out of focus points would still remain round, I am sure he handles the lens much better than I do and that his subjects pose for him still, I am both not good (yet) with this lens (and many others) and with my subjects but the fun is all about grabbing a shot nonetheless only 50% of the eyes is in focus ;-)

That is your opinion correct? I don’t agree. Shot looks good.

The lens is no easy tool to handle at all but that's part of the fun nonetheless eyes are not (both) in focus
