Some nice shots, did you find it easy to focus at 1.1?

I like these - there were very few photos that I have seen from this lens that I liked. I wonder if it shows it's best performance on cropped small sensor? For some reason these photos look very different to me than ones taken on film cameras or even RD1 or M8 that I have seen in the past.

no particular problem in focusing at f1.1

according to my tastes this lens lose most of his attraction on a digitsal cropped sensor.

I love it on my MP with bw films, but I find it very weak on color digital shots
I shooted many photos with it and nex5, but only few were good.
too much CA, sharp only in the center at f1.1, not a great bokeh advantage at f1.1 (on cropped sensor)

it gives best performances in the very low light, see the last 4 shots (as obvious 😛 )

it's best performance is absolutely on BW films:
