Yet you concluded that the 50/f1.4gm is "another optically superb lens with no character."
As a fairly newcomer to photography as a hobby, I am confused by such a paradox. What is character if it's none of those aforementioned qualities? What am I missing or not seeing when I am taking photos with my collection of lenses? I'd certainly like to avoid my photos lacking in character because of my lens choice.
Hi,
I think that my point of view was very well explained by the comments above.
BTW: From all GM primes,to me,only two have some character.I mean GM 85/1.4 and GM 135/1.8.So don't worry.Yet I use them all,(save 100/2.8 GM),with pleasure.
Between the 50mm f1.4 and 50mm f1.2, which one do you prefer? Factoring weight vs rendering and any other factors that's relevant?
I would choose 50/1.2 GM as it can do all the 50/1.4 plus is able to render bokeh smoother.
