First shots with the 50/1.2 Hexanon M

As promised, here are some initial shots with my recent acquisition that I took last weekend In Rehobeth, DE and Ocean City, MD. The first and second were at f/1.2 at 1/60 and 1/4 sec. respectively. The third was at f/1.2 or slightly smaller, I can't remember. Unfortunately, the lab later informed me that the D max was a little off so image quality suffered a little on these shots.

Alan, that second one is brilliant! Well done.

Very nice - I like those! Looks like lens does well in the dark. Keep them coming!

Thanks guys. They were shot on Velvia 100.

Here are two more, shot on Reala 100, both at f/1.2. Full frame, no cropping. I love the relatively low light falloff wide open but the tradeoff is a slightly "smeary" quality to the outer field until about f/3.5 to snuff it out.
