Yes. It is a very nice lens that performs well even wide open. My most recent PAW was taken with one, as well as some other work this year.

Not soft at 1.2, with narrow field depth approaching Noctilux depth.

thks Jeffery, it seems quite nice for this lens but would it be difficult to focus ? And what's the price of it ?

Hi,
I bought a Konica 50mm f/1.2 last year. I am not satisfy its result because its contrast is not up to my requirement. I prepare to sell it out soon. I prefer the Leica Noctilux 50/F1 or Summilux 50/1.4 for low light photographing.
