First shot of my 55mm f1.2 Porst!

I'm kinda surprised. Just went outside in the dusk (my camera is home!) to try out my Porst 55mm f1.2 PK mount. First thoughts, what gives, why do people call this soft wide open? I'm pretty impressed! Got to run but will post more shots later :) 55mm @ f1.2 at ISO 400 with no PP 100% crop of the stem in the middle

Here, have more pics of flowers then... Maybe will sooth your soul!

But it does show a bit of fringing with the extreme colour changes - again that stupid DOF is awesome!

And the real reason for this lens. Nightshots, handheld @ 1/30th of a second. Now that is why you want a f1.2!
