I got my negatives back, the pictures taken with the new (well 1971 anyway) Nikon F film camera with the 55mm 1.2 lens.
This lens is very sharp and very finicky. My win rate was very low. The focus plane is so very narrow. But it will be fun to explore. There is obviously something truly wonderful about film that can't be approximated digitally.

The focus is right in front of her. You breathe wrong and you lose it with this lens. Will try again.

Nice. Bokeh, bokeh, bokeh...
Working in close at 1.4 or lower is very difficult indeed. It is one area where a rangefinder camera has a distinct advantage but only a small one. You pretty much need a saint or two looking over your shoulder to do well at wide aperture no matter what sort of camera you are using. When the focus is accurate though it makes all the frustration worth it.
Ha ha! DSLR users, automatic fast lenses make autofocus just as unreliable as manual focus.
Your photos are

You make me feel so special with these photos!:)
Well, you are special. I like this one a lot, mainly because you were unaware and so it was candid. Thanks for being a good sport and a nice person.
Brett keeps reminding me more and more of Jonathan Winters...
