f1.2 Beautiful Bokeh Is Possible...

There's a lot of 1.2 images I shot that I didn't like (regarding background nervousness). In the end, I trapped out the camera to not shoot wider than 1.6 so it became a "see no evil" proposition.

If you're ok with that distant 1.2 shot (on the lawn with the house the background) then you'll love the lens. It's really something.

btw, the 35L2 image wasn't cropped (I almost never crop).

Enjoy!

I have hundreds of examples of f1.2 fantastic buttery bokeh, but the background is not very far.

I do not think the busy background is specific to a particular 50mm f1.2 lens....its just the way it is with 50mm + f1.2 + far backgrounds.
