Inspector’s condition notes

Lens is in like-new condition. The glass is perfect with no scratches. Focus and aperture are buttery smooth like a new lens. Internal components are tight with no loose movement or rattling. The exterior body looks like new, but there are 2–3 small paint chips or hairline scratches along the edges of the lens barrel or near the focus ring and aperture ring (you have to look closely to spot them).

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.
