Beautiful image maker!

Have had this lens for 5 days now. Bought at Camera Canada for $1,669 delivered to my office. Taken it out twice and must say the images the lens produces at f/1.2 are beautiful in a unique, ethereal way. The thin depth of field can be used very creatively, however, it's not meant for every image. There are times I shoot at f/11 to increase depth of field and the image quality is superb. If you can swing the price, you will not be disappointed with this beautiful piece of glass.
