Jeff, I can't see the flare picture for some reason -- can you re-post it?
Thanks,
Ari

I've neutralized as much of the back lighting flare as I could via photoshop

Hi,
this thread on RFF made me buy a 50 Canon 1.2 LTM and as expected it front focusses on my M8.
Yours seems spot on focuswise,
did you calibrate it yourself or had it collimated?
Cheers
Jean-Marc.
Just found the answer here:

The previous owner had it CLA'd. I generally find shooting at 1.2 pretty tricky and prefer to keep the subject at least 6' away

Sorry for only seeing your question now. Honestly I don't know. Shooting this wide open is always tricky, so I just tend to shoot three shots in a row moving focus slightly each time. Usually one of these is sharp then.

Not so much into the shallow dof sort of photography really, I have started to like this lens for low light situations a lot.
