p.1 #1 · nikon 85mm f1.2 apsc crop vs 135mm f1.8 plena

Shots for my own review. 85mm f1.2 shows slight ringing at the bokeh circles unlike of the plena which is very nice with no visible ringing.

My plena flare much more.... which is weird. Maybe it is dirty. I tried cleaning it and it improved slightly but I still feel the 85mmn flare less.

Other than that, I think both lens are very good.

the plena bokeh is REALLY very nice. now I have an excuse to keep the plena. I bought the 85mm yesterday because I find the 135mm working distance too long.

The bokeh ringing of the 85mm f1.2 is slightly disappointing. I have a sigma 85mm f1.4 dg dn.. Maybe I should do another comparison

Was the 85 shot at 1.8? The comparison should be fair. If you look at the optical design of the Plena, you'll see what I mean.
