Ah! thanks. i totally forgot about this chart. Did a couple more tests. I showed a few other friends and they do agree that the first one is the sharper one. That's actually at 0 MA. The second was at +5 MA. Mamiya M645 1000S, Mamiya RZ67, Polaroid SX-70 Alpha, Polaroid 250 Auto Land Camera, Leica M3, Canon Elan II

My eyes obviously suck but can either of you guys let me know which one of these are sharper? One of them is MA.. The first one is definitely sharper on the pendant. It makes sense that the second is +5 MA, being that the fine hairs at 10 o'clock behind the pendant are sharper, in that instance. Canon 5D Mark II - Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L - Canon EF 135mm f/2L

I guess my copy is a good one if i don't have to MA it. Mamiya M645 1000S, Mamiya RZ67, Polaroid SX-70 Alpha, Polaroid 250 Auto Land Camera, Leica M3, Canon Elan II

You will have to worry about MA. Buy it brand new, locally, do a test in the store to see if it works to your liking, and if not see if they have another copy. 500px

He'd have to be pretty unlucky I'd say. I've never had to return/cherry pick to get a proper working "L" series lens, the 50L included. Late model "semi-pro" bodies of course have lens micro-adjustments to help make up for the differences in manufacturing tolerances. If you shoot wide open with very shallow depths of field MFA is something that you should do as standard practice. Portfolio - Fashion/Beauty
