This lens takes amazing close up portraits too, just to add. Great sharpness around the eyes and everything else just melts into buttery smooth bokeh.
All the gear with no idea

You're right Haris - but getting the focus right is quite difficult sometimes (that depth of field is so thin) - I'll add some images showing the differences at it's first few stops.......

These 4 images were taken handheld earlier today and show the first four recorded aperture stops of this lens - f1.2, f1.3, f1.4 and f1.6 - they've all had the same processing (nothing too drastic) to remove the highlights, amend the contrast a bit and add a little sharpening. I'm not sure if the forum images will show at a size that shows the differences well enough so if you're interested you might want to take a look in the mini-album at Flickr - https://www.flickr.com/photos/62460860@N05/albums/72177720296027024
Focus was on the lettering "SDM AW" - there is no vignetting correction or CA adjustments.....
1. f1.2

2. f1.3

3. f1.4

4. f1.6

Hope this of interest

I've always wanted to try a 1.2 on full frame...
This one does look a lovely example, it has to be said (no surprises there for LB).

Condition is superb, optically excellent (minimal dust) and cosmetically just minor silvering. These are becoming quite rare nowadays, cropping up less and less often. I'll include a Pentax dedicated lens hood too!
I'll take some photos of it when I get a chance, but if it's of interest please PM me.
