I think this rendering looks nicer than the Elcan shots — bokeh is still retro (plus glow!) but rendering is calmer and less agitated. Also the SPII is sharp at f/2 away from the center, but the Elcan gets soft quickly off axis. But yeah the size of the Elcan is a huge win.
Thanks! Luckily (for my wallet, at least), it's not an issue of keeping it, as I was just borrowing it for a few days. I'm dvery excited for the 50/1.2 and the 35/1.4, but the SPII probably isn't for me (though, if I had kept it any longer who knows what I could've convinced myself of). I'm still quite happy with the 8-Element and the 'Elcan.'
