I don‘t believe focus and recompose is a good idea with an f/1.2 lens wide open.
Indeed. I found out when I tried a few portraits. Focus was waaaaay off.

I'm keeping the Loxias by the way. The Nokton is just not as good for what I normally shoot, so probably I'll mostly use it for low light or when I just want to carry one lens.
It's very easy to get fooled that you like a lens that doesn't suit your needs. My main reason for this, is that the bokeh gets worse when stopping down. Which means I'll shoot wide open or stopped down for full DOF. I really don't like the results at ~f/2,8-4 at a few meters distance.
