Opinion:After 5 sets of portraits I can finally give a first judgment on this lens, the first of its kind for the Japanese house and if it makes you pay dearly (compared to the Canon version for example). However, if it can be useful, interesting or intriguing a lens for portraits with the maximum aperture at 1.2, it is worth every single euro. In my kit it replaced the Sigma ART 105mm f/1.4 and the 85mm f/1.8 and I do not regret having sold any of the 2 lenses, which are still excellent. In terms of resolution and sharpness you eat the 105 of Sigma which was the sharpest lens I had ever used, at the level of Bokeh, three-dimensionality and fall-off of the planes of fire is in an alloy alone (perhaps together with the 50 1.2 but I have never tried). The size and weight are not the best, but they are still more manageable than the Sigma and are in line with expectations for the quality obtained. The handling of chromatic aberrations and vignetting also seems class-leading to me for this focal length. The only technical note that can be improved can be found at f/1.2 shooting at 85cm (MFD) from the subject: on test charts there is a slight loss of contrast in situations of direct light, solvable by increasing the contrast in post-production with 1 click (the resolving power is not affected, nor the chromatic tones); I add, however, that in "real cases" of portraits this problem is not appreciable. It will be a lens that will have a fixed dwelling in the photographic backpack
