Of course where appropriate it excels wide open just like the 20mm Bow Wow Tak. There is evidence of softening at the edges and a global reduction in contrast but in many low light situations this behaviour can indeed be an advantage. The 50/1.2 lenses perform as well if not better than any other 50s from 5.6 onwards and infinitely better at f1.2 than a slower lens :-) Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
