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.

Yes, depth of field preview only works for gross differences in
DOF.
