I’m enjoying this series with the 0.95 very much. A lovely softness to them.
Glad to hear it Guy. Actually, the lens is quite sharp at the point of focus (clinical sharpness is one of the things that bothered me the first time I used it)… it’s just that the plane of focus is so shallow at f/0.95 that everything else — except the point of focus — is soft. My own view is that the f/0.95 — when everything works right — confers a pleasing and complex “rounded-ness” to images.
I’ll clarify this point of “rounded” rendering in tomorrow’s post.
