"Well me too. I love my 50mm 1.2. It sure is soft wide open, but
most leses are. Down two stops and its real nice. I didn't buy a
1.2 for it's open aperture performance. I bought it because it
is easy to focus in dim chrches and dark auditoriums during
wedding dinners and dances. I don't think I ever actually use it
wider open than 5.6, where it is more than adequate for my anal
retentive eye, Truth be to tell, I don't like any lens (even my
much loved 77 (see separate post for funny story) wider open
than f 5.6."
REPLY:
I tend to agree with Alexander here: its main problem wide open is its lack of
contrast. They way I remembered mine was that wide open shots looked like a picture
spending to much time out in the sun. Its great though stopped down and its built is
superb.
I start to like the 77 Limted at F:4.
