Yessir, f1.2 FTW!
I love this lens, everyone else seems to bitch about the softness that is imbues on an image. Modern lenses with AF seem to make everything razor sharp. This is a 40+ year old MASSIVE chunk of glass, the back side is about half as big as the front, the thing weighs a ton, but there is nothing that feels like it at all. I really feel that shots with this monster are very warm and soft. In this shot the focus is I think about halfway through the grip on the lense, its hard to use on the D40 cause the viewfinder is so small and dim.
The other thing it offers is great buttery Bokeh, see some of my other shots in my portfolio for examples. |

nothing is sharp at all in this shot and yoru flying space ships hurt the shot. redo the shot, but better this time, put your hand up on the right side of the picture and see if choppign some off does not make it more pleasing to look at
