Mishka, You might not see the difference, but it is there. Take the 50/1.2 off the camera and look into it while you change the aperture from 1.4 to 1.2, quite the difference eh? That extra light it lets in at 1.2 will really help you to focus in dim light, not to mention the make or break shutter speed. It is NOT a waste of money, IMNSHO :) Steve Larson Redondo Beach, California ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Ignatiev" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 25, 2002 7:16 AM Subject: 50/1.2 (was Re: Depth of Field Preview)
> Speaking of DOF preview. Playing with my newly acquired 50/1.2, I tried to compare (naturally) how much difference f/1.2 makes wrt f/1.4. To my surprice, it was NONE. Absolutely whatsoever none! I was looking through LX with a new (SG-60?) grid screen and at 1.2 and 1.4 the view was absolutely identical. The diafragm did change, I could see it in the lens, but that was it. > Does anyone have an explanation? > > Best, > Mishka >
