Nearly Perfect

Fantastic lens - lives up to the hype - 4.5/5 - dinged one-half star for no weather seal at this price point. Intended to place on Zf as everyday walk about lens as well as night street work and environmental portraits. Found it to be a bit to heavy for long carry and despite effort to evolve 50mm has never been my natural focal length. I wrestled with returning it for the 40/1.2 or upcoming 35/1.4 but decided it was simply too good at night work and environmental portraits. Besides dedicated shoots, it is not too heavy to throw in the everyday bag and quickly mount when the situation calls is right. A few images from first night walk about are attached - basically straight out of the camera.

I find it hard to define what makes images from this lens magical; they just are. The effect is often called "3D". Subjects just seem to stand out against the background. Excellent resolution down to f/2.0 and very good down to f/1.0. I use this lens on my Nikon Z8, and its manual focus aids work very well. I created a dedicated settings bank just for this lens so I could define controls to optimise its use. The focus adjustment is silky-smooth, and the 1/3-stop clicks on the aperture ring are just perfect. An absolute joy to use. A truly special lens.
