Eh... The actual f-stop difference is almost 1/2 stop -- it's not all that subtle. And it was in pretty dim environment (my apt. in the evening).Mishka, I also think that the difference in DOF is too small to be easily perceived visually BUT it's not a waste of money if you need the extra amount of light on the film. Your meter will definitely see this difference, and your 3200 film will be happy to "feel" it...
I can buy that the image brightness diff can be not that obvious at all. What I was really surprised, is that DOF was the same as well!
Now I remeber reading that the way modern screens are designed is to get optimal performance under "normal' circumstances, and that means apertures up to 1.4. Can it be that the focusing screen simply doesn't see the extra aperture opening? Can anyone with LX and 50/1.2 confirm/discard my suspicion?
If so, seems like f/1.2 is kinda waste of money (except that it looks so cool that even my girlfrend approved this purchase :)
