Shots this morning
Having the IBIS with the 50L @ f1.2 shots where the DOF is so narrow is wonderful. Previously without AF and IBIS, handheld shots had a much lower hit rate.
The 50L is a great option for a lot of people looking for accurate AF and that \"creamy\", Leica like glow for certain shots. The lens\' character changes again as you stop down it is excellent. In essence you have spectrum of \"looks\" that you can use. The interesting note, is that I like the look of the 50L better on the A7rII than I did with my 5DII
I purchased the 50L to replace my 50 Nocti f/1.0(Mandler), one of my most used lenses for street portraits. The 50 Nocti f1.0 did not have too many issues on the A7s but on the A7rII I noticed a lot more field curvature which made it almost impossible to nail the near eye focus at f1.0 when it was slightly off center.
For those that are interested, the specs for both the 50 Nocti f/1.0 and 50L are virtually the same weight and size and the 50L is 1/6 of the price and has AF
50L 590gms 85mm x 65.5mm MFD 0.46m
50 Nocti f/1.0 584gms 75mm x 64.5mm MFD 1.00m
A7rII and 50L @ f/1.2
