Picked up this lens on Friday for an engagement shoot. I didn't want to spend the money on the 56 1.2 because I would rather have the 90mm (love the 135mm equivalent) so I decided on this as the gap lens. Holy. Cow. Tack sharp, fast focus. I didn't mind the awkward 75mm focal length.

Here are two SOOC JPEGs. Literally nothing done to them. I think in Camera the highlights were -2 and shadows +1. I can check for sure if anyone cares.

Something with a little more creative edit:

This looks very good. I am also very interested in the 50mm lens but can't get my head around the aperture differences when it compares to 1.2 version. But then, it's definitely cheaper and your pictures looks great!

I just received my 50mm f2 yesterday and I am definitely pleased with it. I'll be able to get more hands on experience next week when I leave for vacation.

I gotta say; I'm a little torn between this lens, the 60mm f2.4, the Samyang 50/1.2 and even (more recently) the Voigtlander 75mm f2.5...

Leaning towards the 60/2.4, but this thing is up in the running too...

Love the sharpness. Can't wait to get my hands on a x-t20
