Originally posted by pepperberry farm I have no other super-fast lenses to compare the Porst with, but my experience with the lens has been nothing but positive - I fully expected to be let down by the 55/1.2's performance everywhere, especially when you stop the lens down a bit...
I still have to test it on FF, the same way i tried the others, so i don't have a meaningful first hand experience.
Some people say that it's the most fun lens to use, among the other f/1.2 available in M42 or PK mount.
I will use it wide open, as i have done with the others, cause i think that these lenses really shine at full aperture (or closed one stop maximum).
Despite what most people say, only occasionally i had to use LiveView. Most of the times the focus is right on spot using the viewfinder.
From what i've read, i expect the Porst to be pure fun.
I'll post one or two pictures soon
cheers
