Quote:I don't think that ancient lens (you're referring to that old Canon 0.95 rangefinder lens... Right?) is very practical now - from all the examples I've seen it's morbidly soft and ridden with flare. I did toy with the idea, but the samples turned me off, and I didn't even try to learn how it can be adapted to the Sony NEX... Then again, you already have a 50/1.2 lens... I don't know how much there is to realistically gain by going even faster? Maybe the shortest MFD is something to look out for, I dunno...

But looks like I'm breaking the rules of my own thread. Smile
It is about its character... And I find it to be sharp enough wide open. It seems quite a bit nicer than the Leica.... I have two 55mm f1.2 lenses, which have a different character than either the Canon 50mm f0.95 or the EF 50mm f1.0 USM.

 

Here some samples to get an idea of the character of that 50mm f0.95:
