Yes focus is much better on the Z6, but I still get unwanted glow at f1.2

If you don't want glow you should choose another lens ;D 8)

Or choose another subject. In my opinion the 1.2 does not so good at images with such busy back- and foregrounds.

Better at a setup like this, shot at f2

Yesterday I went on a manual focus trip with the 50mm f1.2. My first serious outing with this lens on the Z6. Focusing is relatively easy with peaking and zoom function.

I don't remember the apertures, sorry about that.

That is a really nice series, Luc. I had an eye on a 50mm 1.2 but did not buy it because of the bokeh comments at f1.2. The speed was one of the main reasons to consider this lens but the comments on the web did hold me back. Bit these photos show the lens has great potential.

Here's another option for using your 50/1.2 lens

I own two of them, and these days, my preferred method of using them is on my Panasonic MFT cameras with a Metabones Speed Booster (see photo).

With this speed booster, the effective aperture wide open is f0.80 and the field of view is similar to 40mm-ish on full frame.  Also it's sharper too. 

These days I'm shooting all of my Nikkor lenses either with a speed booster on MFT cameras, or on a Nikon CCD sensor camera (prefer CCD colors).

Nice series, Luc.  I like the atmosphere created by the lens.

Apparently, fast standard MF lenses are in fashion again here?

From f/2.0, it is my favourite Nikkor 50 (ex aequo with the very different 50/2 AI), plus it provides special effects at f/1.2-f/1.4. So I am a happy owner. The 50/1.2 AI is my standard lens for shooting demonstrations and similar events, god knows why.

Nice shots, guys. I think, seeing them, that I’ll have to purchase it once again.  :)
I exchanged it for 55/1.2 but somehow still leaning towards the newer.
Maybe I would keep both but my photo backpack is already overflowing.  ::)

That’s a nice set up Bruce, may I ask where you got the Nikon rubber focusing collar? I have a few old timers that would work well on. I agree with the comments on the 50 1.2. It doesn’t work with busy backgrounds but it sure looks in this set. I have the Ai version and tried it on the Z6 when it first came out and was very impressed. I will just wait a few years for the price to drop. I’m looking forward to have image stabilization on all my manual focus glass. It will be like shooting my old Nikkormat with a 50 at a 1/4 of a second when my hands were more steady. Gerry
