Shots at f/2 or just with the Hexanon generally?

 

[Nigel Meaby]

Any shots anyone cares to post from this lens. These weren't at F2 I just wrote that to distinguish from the 50 F1.2 lens which some people also have.

 

[Andrew Sowerby]

In that case, I've got plenty ...

... actually, that last one might be at f/2.

i think there was a similar thread before where i had posted these..

pls forgive the poor lab scanning. in terms of dof, there is probably marginal difference between a f1.4 and f2 lens. what the f1.4 gives you is that extra bit of light to get a shot..which can be important. i am happy with my hexanon f2 but it doesn't stop me from lusting after the 60/1.2!

That lens is marvelous. Given the cost of a Summi, I'll take the Hex any old time!

I think the price of these can only go up so if you haven't already I'd get one while you can. To me these are a gift at $450-500 as mentioned in this recent post,

I was considering selling mine but have decided against it as I know there is nothing else out there to compare with it at todays market price.
