That's a gorgeus lens on E-mount cameras. Great image samples and full review can be seen at Paulmarbrook.com!

It's a wonderful lens and you posted a nice picture of it

An top quality glass with a speed of f/0.95 would be especially optical designed for digital use larger, because of more glass in it! On the other hand is the question, is it worth to produce a minor number of such expensive glasses, and who would buy them!

Very pretty! As far as I'm concerned, if you buy an unusual lens and it allows you to take a wonderful picture of a loved one like the second photo in the series, then it's already paid for itself.

I think the days of 'fast' lenses are numbered.  They were never that good optically - esp wide open and the ability to change ISO and image stabilization and highly corrected CA of new lenses make them obsolete.

 

I have one of the highest regarded Zeiss Contax 1.2 85mm lens and I can't think of a reason I would select the 1.2 over the new Otus 85mm 1.4.

^ I kind of have similar feelings as the ultra thin dof is not as useable as i think some people imagine, that said, id surely have one though if i could hehe.

Thanks for posting i love those old lenses and the build quality etc. They are gems of engineering.

Obsolete yes ... for their original intended purposes.

  

Obsolete like '57 Chevy. IOW no longer appropriate

as your daily driver, but now re-purposed for certain

special qualities that shine in certain situations.
