Here's a picture taken in 2011 with my 55 1.2 @ 1.2 with the D700. It's almost a magical specs.

It's kinda blurry at the top and bottom, otherwise, great shot!

Looks great.

I think that's the point. Very fast lens, close in, very shallow depth of field.

Little do you realize it's already check mate - you lose!

Back to the picture, that is really cool. I can't imagine the treasure trove that lens must command with such an insane aperture.

That is definitely difficult (for me) to MF that lens with such a thin DoF.

Yes, it was a sad attempt at humor
