The last one is phenomenal, Bjørn!

I have quite a few heligon shots here: http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php/topic,1448.0.html
No need to double post them I guess.
The fact remains  I don't posses a f/1.2 lens or faster :)

My question would be: is a 100/1.6 faster than a 50/1.2?

Not seen as a lens "speed". f/1.2 is faster. However, the entrance pupil of the 100/1.6 is much larger: 62.5 mm compared to 41.7 mm of the 50 mm lens.

All above with 50/1.2 AI or AIS wide open. To finish with, a medley with lots of kraut, some tin, and two old friends :

This shot was taken with a (sorry) Canon f/2.8 L Macro 6 years ago. I don't have anything interesting on my new f/1.4 yet, but wanted to join in ;D



This site renders the color different from what I see on my own site, but this photo was actually taken in my lawn (not removed/staged), and taken in the natural light in which it was found.

The light was admittedly harsh, but the green in the background is my lawn (in sunlight) with the darker green behind being the looming forest. Shot at f2/8.
