Canon 50mm 1.2 and M9

[Fraser]

This arrived today this is my second Canon 50mm 1.2 never really got on with the first one but that was before I started adjusting the rangefinder myself, so thats probably why it was never really sharp!
Quick pics before a clean, crop shows it not too bad at 1.2 for a 50+year old lens.

Whoa, looks like you bagged one with a black aperture ring! Not too many of those around, if I'm not mistaken....

Yes, very jealous of the black aperture ring! I also really like this combination.

The black aperture ring was one of the reasons I went for it had been thinking about another 1.2 for a while then spotted this, reckoned if it was no good I would pick up a chrome one and swap the parts.

One of my favorite 50mm lenses. Love it's signature, especially wide-open, or near it. The black aperture ring is a rarity too. Enjoy.

Nice looking combo.

My 50/1.2 has as much detail as my Canon 50/1.4 does (at least) but is lower in contrast so looks less "sharp."
