So far I am liking the little forty a lot as it definitely has tons of character with awesome boke and decent sharpness wideopen.
The only caveat is that I’ve traded in the optically perfect but boring Sony Zeiss 35/1.4 and already have character lenses like the 50/1.2 Ai-S and Canon 85/1.2 FD, so one side I am stoked to have a character lens in such a small package with native auto focus but I also mis an optical perfect lens below the CV125 for the times I need that distortion free clean look for a more balanced spread in types of image rendering. But maybe I am just finding excuses to buy one of the S primes haha.
The lens can hold its own for sure but would also be nice pocketable creative sidekick to the clean zoom lenses or S primes.
Here’s some quick snapshots from the garden with only minor tweaks in Affinity on the iPad, all images are at f/2 and uncropped except for the fly crop which is done at 100% to satisfy the pixel peepers
