I don't get it. Shall I take those posts seriously, Frank and Rover? One wants 8mm more focal length, the other a bit faster aperture, no matter if it's usable. Those f/1.2 do come from the days when Film was really highspeed with around 6400 ISO. And grainy like a field of rocks. Or one of those early sensors which went beyond 1600 ISO.


With contemporary sensors,
  • who needs f/1.2
  • and is able to focus that properly
  • and is willing to leave resolution, contrast and flare resistance completely on a mediocre side?

any idea why Nikon didn't, nor Zeiss with their latest "around 50mm" lenses? Wink Certainly the price was no limit.
