few people use F1.4 or F1.8 on their lenses at it is

you really need to have a project in mind to bother with a 1.2 lens, otherwise its just wasted shelf space.

I use 1.4 all the time.....

So why would you buy a lens that you wont use in the first place? I think that my question is valid and there is no need to go too far to understand the question.

Calm down, children

Gruoso, maybe I have more than one... And yes, it is a legitimate question.

Gooshin, I just shot f/1.2 1 hr ago. No other way to get a pic in a dark conference hall at ISO800 and 1/20s-1/30s on a K10D.

Platinum, Blue, jgredline, I will e-mail you guys pics later this evening when I get home. It might be late, because I'm very busy today at work, so please be patient.

Gruoso, Bigben, do you want pics too?

Damn Miserere I wish you'd stop listing stuff when I just emptied the bank account on a K20D. This sounds sweet. Maybe if it's still available on payday....

Here is a photo I took tonight on a K10D, handheld, in crappy pub light.
