My two favorites were #12 and #14, the rest was too much of everything for me. Finally I choose #14 over #12 simply because the upper left light (Moon?) distracts my eyes from the beautiful rest. #12 gives the most sereen feeling and atmosphere which I love dearly being an outdoor woman. Just beautiful.

I voted for number 14, for me it had a unique feel, setting, and atmosphere that set it apart. But an overall outstanding collection of finalists!

But, your purple flowers in post #603 pretty much sum up the beauty of 1.2! I keep coming back to look at that one. classic!


Is this the bee pic you meant?



Looking at the EXIF data, I shot this on my *istDL; that was 3 cameras ago.

Hopefully someone else can chime in with a better response, but yes, generally the more blades the "better" as the aperture will be slightly more round as the number of blades increase. Although I don't know if in practice there is really a huge difference between the K50/1.2 and the A50/1.2 in this regard. The A50/1.2 came out after the K50/1.2, so I presume they kept the optical formula (which is excellent) and just added another blade and the "A" setting as "upgrades" over the K50/1.2.

I own the Pentax A 50/f1.2 and the Revuenon 55/f1.2. They both are ones of my favorit lenses and I am planning to make a comparison soon.

Really like that last shot, Margriet. I am lucky enough to have the Revuenon and the A50 f1.2. They are both absolutely great lenses but for me the Revuenon wins out, especially given the difference in price. I have always meant to shoot some comparisons when I get a chance. I too have the ee-S focusing screen (carefully adjusted with the shims), that really adds a lot to these lenses. And you are right, serious fringing control often has to be done in post.

I got both of mine for doing studies of plants and nature mainly. For this application, I do think that the MFD is a frustration with both lenses. Using a Raynox or similar allows close-up application, but there is still a gap in field of view between raynox (close up) and the MFD that I think would be very useful to cover.

I have found that an unexpected application for these lenses is table/drinks shots. In particular with the Revuenon, something about the woozy ambiance conjured up, as well as the size of the subjects makes it a perfect drinks lens!

I also picked up a Helios-44M today for $14.






Kinda soft at the edges and corners in a circular sorta way, though...

Beautiful images Gus! All of them! Helios-44 is one very underrated lens which delivers dreamy images with a great character.

Thanks for posting!
