Some pics from the garden. This is very unscientific as these shots were done hand held, but I tried to replicate the focus point on the flower in the 100% crops. First pic (& 100% crop) is f/1.2, second is at f/1.8. I believe these were near MFD on the lens. Really like the focus transition zones on this lens. There is not a big gap between the two apertures in resolution and contrast, other than the obvious DOF differences. The little mites or aphids may resolve better with just a bit more contrast on the f/1.8 pic, but it's hard to tell. Resolution at f/1.2 on this lens is very satisfying, if not outright sharp, DOF is just razor thin at close distances!
