I once owned the 50mm Canon f1.2 lens.
It was kinda soft at full apertures.
Lent to a friend it was returned all scratched on front element!
Lesson leant, No MORE LOANS.
At a Camera Sale, a guy wanted my lens for the whole lens, as his was rusted and corroded.
I let it go for a pittance(he insisted to pay) as his front element was near perfect.
Lenses this old are bound to show wear..
A 50mm Nikkor 1.4 that has fungus and scratches that i use,
is still sharp! At one stop down, even the edges!
I don't make monster BLOW ups.
Seeing faults in Bokeh is for those small minded pixel peepers.
