Thanks me to, but what do you mean by apparent sharpness? I have a lot more Noct shots up on my flickr, so feel free to comment!

Gotta love the blur this lens creates.

Do you have any examples on longer distances? Preferably with a busy background.

More Pentax-A 50/1.2 wide open.
I think this lens renders OOF highlights even worse (in the traditional sense) than the 55/1.2 zuiko tbh, but if the brightness transition between oof objects isn't too severe I love the drawing and lines it creates. I guess it's all about playing to the lens' strengths.

uglier bokeh

nicer, smoother bokeh

The colour and contrast are very good wide open as well.

For example:

I think this was shot with a tamron 17-50.. could have been otherwise though.

EDIT: sorry, looks like linking from redbubble is not workable. check out http://www.redbubble.com/people/empire/art/2013562-2-the-deafening-silence-of-emptiness for some an example of the sub-luminous potential of the rokkor 58/1.2

edit AGAIN: friday night, drunk, can't spell, excuse please
