Pros:Blurred, inimitable three-dimensionality, AF, value increasing, unique lens
Cons:Cons are subjective
Opinion:Sharpness is low, chromatic aberrations are important, lens flares are always around the corner, vignetting is very marked. Can we call these defects? Probably yes, but by combining all these "defects" with the blur and three-dimensionality and together with the aspherical lens, you create an image that I like to call "magical". Do you want a sharp and flawless photo? Choose another lens. Want to create magic? it's the right lens. Does it make sense to buy it in 2024? It makes more sense to buy it today than it was released in 1989 because today combined with a mirrorless camera the focus is always precise and at f1.0 the accuracy must be absolute or the subject is out of focus, the AF is faster than on a reflex, I use the adapter with variable nd filter so I can shoot without problems under the sun at f1.0. Poor sharpness? Nowadays it's no longer a problem, using programs like Topaz AI, you increase the sharpness superbly. We'll probably never see an autofocus f1.0 again, reading on the net Canon made this lens as a challenge to Nikon to show what they were capable of, and I guess the results speak for themselves. Extreme optics that have become legends
Pros:TOP brightness, physically and aesthetically very similar to the Canon 85mm f/1.2.
Cons:Spare parts are difficult to find now out of production for a long time ... Slow AF, sharpness not just at the TOP!
Opinion:I own this lens for quite some time. A level "emotional" is really well done. Just a shame that now it is broken and I can not find spare parts. In fact, I recently took the current 50mm f1 / 2 and I am fine I hope to be able to fix it or find another copy for spare parts, by a factor of more sentimental than anything else! In order not to regret the old days anyway ...
Pros:Blurred incredible sharpness [depending on the specimens], gives a unique character to snapshots; advantage of knowing you will get magnificent effects.
Cons:Cost, irriparabilità, manual focus always needs the camera is turned on [but it is a limit due to the release date of the same, and the great mass of the lens to move].
