Inspector’s condition notes

Lens in good condition — another high-spec lens. The background melts away smoothly and completely. The optical glass is perfect with no scratches. Focus and aperture move as smoothly as a brand-new lens. Internal components are tight, with no sounds of any parts shifting inside. The exterior shows normal signs of use, with visible scratches and paint loss commonly seen on the lens body.

How this lens renders

Compared to other lenses with similar specs like the Canon FL 55mm f/1.2, this one stands out with its maximum aperture of f/1.2. It gathers noticeably more light and gives you the kind of depth of field control that lenses like the f/1.7-f/1.8 simply can't deliver. Wide open at f/1.2, the subject is rendered with a soft, gentle sharpness and a character all its own. Stop down to f/2.8 and the center crispness really comes through, becoming tack-sharp across the entire frame at f/8. The wide aperture melts the background into a smooth, creamy blur with large, luscious bokeh that cleanly separates the subject from its surroundings. Color tones lean toward a filmic palette, contrast is nicely balanced, and the files are a pleasure to work with in post. You can get a touch of vignetting to help frame the subject at wide open, and it fades away as you stop down. It's a vintage lens with genuine background-separation soul — well worth adding to a collection and shooting with for real.
