Very nice - really like the colors this lens produces.
I\'ll counter with another F/1.4 insect crop. These may look blown-out, but they\'re not - they\'re just tiny. DOF is down to around 1cm here. Also, note the spider-line that travels in and out of DOF/visibility down/right of center.
What is impressive to me about your crop at 1.4 is that it is way off center towards the bottom left corner of the frame. Is it tack sharp - no, but at 1.4 that far towards the corner, it\'s still impressive. Unlike some 1.4 wide angles, this lens is very useable wide open and not just in the center of the frame. I have some other night shot tests taken wide open such as this one below which confirm this.
