Sounds like it is his favorite lens out of the 554 lenses he's reviewed so far. What an amazing endorsement.

Fast forward to the 11:15 mark if you only want to watch the part about the 56 f1.2.

Also, special mention to the Viltrox 13mm f1.4 lens.

I had two copies of the Viltrox 13mm and both were soft wide open which is contrary to what many have posted around the internet. So there appears to be some copy variation on that lens.

or user variation… and I do not mean you

I want to pick up an 85mm equiv prime lens for either Fuji or Sony. If only they used linear motors in the new 56mm 1.2.... So hard to pay $1k for it without, but otherwise looks to be optically excellent.
