Here are some shots from the 50/1.2 Hexanon on a Hexar RF shot around f/4-5.6 on Velvia. I love what this film and lens combo can do.

This is my first post here.
There aren't many photo examples done by M-Hexanon 50/1.2 so hesitated to
get one of the fast RF lens, but what the heck just jumped in "fast prime land".

The lens is better than I thought (maybe this is an understatement), but
not high c/p lens IMHO comparing to Canon 50/1.2, which i paid $250 for.

However the result is pretty good, it is a surprisingly light weight lens
thou large. May contribute some photos guys ..

Nice M8 posts. Congratulations on getting the lens. The sharpness results on the M8 appear similar to mine on film so I don't think there is a big back focus issue as with some other lenses. Maybe it's lost in translation, but what is "c/p"?

I think may be unavoidable that these lenses need adjustment for an M8, mine was similar.

I don't know what c/p is either unless it is cost/performance ratio - then I can see a Canon winning for some folks.
