Nail your focus at f/1.2

I got this gorgeous buddy a few weeks ago - a Canon FL 58mm f/1.2 - but again, I was too busy to have a test on it, also because I couldn't find a Canon SLR body until a friend of mine lended me a AE-1 Program.





My personal reviews about the lens: the build is amazingly sexy, the colors and sharpness are good enough, strong vignette and super shallow DOF, which I deeply love. At f/1.2, all I have to do in a cloudy day with a roll of ISO 100 is shooting at 1/1000 second, perfect. But at the same time, it's not an easy deal to work out the focus.

Some photos from last weekend, a Sunday-morning walk in the zoo.
