![]() ![]() I re-tested mine using a similar setup to what you've used, and the result can be seen below. Jack, the issue with the 50mm f/1.2 isn't its resolution. ![]() I don't have a 50/1.8G, but by all reports and thanks to the inclusion of an aspherical element, it's a superior performer to anything Nikon have previously produced in that focal length and aperture. ![]() It's just rubbish wide open, like almost every other wide aperture non-aspheric design.Īnyway, to partly answer the OP's question, at f/2 and beyond there is almost no discernible difference in performance between my 50/1.2, my Ai-S 50/1.8 or either of my 50mm f/1.4s. So as far as I can tell it's not a particularly bad copy. It actually performs about the same as both of my f/1.4 50mm Nikkors at matching apertures. My lens looks fairly minty, the glass is pristine, it has no dings or signs of tampering, and doesn't have one edge or corner better than another, which is a surfire telltale of decentring. So let's see some unmanipulated 100% crops please, and then we can tell if I've got a bad copy or not. Most lenses can be made to look good on the web at around 400 pixels wide. Let me remind everyone that my sample clip is a 100% crop from the very demanding D800. ![]()
