Krosavcheg, a combination of typical Contax 'defined bokeh' (lively yet smooth) together with lower global contrast and excellent midtone saturation characteristics. I see this a lot with bronze and copper artifacts in monasteries. The VS plays very well with shiny coloured metal - you fee you can touch them in the image! thanks for posting.

@Krosavcheg: Amazing shot. Loved both of them.
@shoenberg3: Beautiful landscape. This lens has very nice contrasts.
Here are some with the C/Y 50 1.7
I'm not selling this lens. Ever.

BTW, would like to how others remember the set aperture for photographs.

The P50/1.4 C/Y is a terrific fast 50: compact, smooth focus action, great DOF scale, sharp wide open. Downsides are horrible b/g bokeh at widest apertures, and some barrel distortion. No optical difference between MMJ and AEG.

Thank you, Rico. Any pictures to show me? How does it compare against, say, my 50 1.2L, or even the Canon 50 1.4?

Dave, beautiful shot. lovely colors and very sharp.
Gregg, the drawing styles of both lenses are quite different. I like the bokeh of 1,7 more than 1,4. 1,7 has a beautiful, creamy and gradual blur. I found the 1,7 to have more of the 3Dness than the 1,4.
I'll see if I can post comparative shot using both the lenses. here I'm talking about the C/Y 50mm 1,4 and C/Y 50mm 1,7.

Hey People,
Joining in on the fun here. Got a great deal on a 5DM2 a few weeks ago and puting together a MF lens kit for stills/video - I think I'm going with C/Y Here's a sample of my newly acquired 85/1.4 MMJ.

@peteypie: It looks like your lens has much more CA than it should have.
