If only it closed down to 22 then I would have bought one .............

I honestly would like to know about the buyers (if there are any around here and I have some doubts) of these kind of super light efficient lenses, and ask them ( and yes, would want to see what kind of pictures they take which are requiring such an expensive lens ) what they are actually using these lenses for other than the possible exceptional (as in “ not all that commmon” not as in “ great” ) “ bokeh” ( Ah! The Bokeh! The Bokeh!  ).

 

More importantly, did anyone ever find out it this lens is, in fact, a rebranded Mitakon at 3 times the price?

I could use a lens that fast shooting concerts and events. I shot an Oktoberfest event last weekend and was sitting around 1.4, 1/125, and 3200-6400. I like to shoot at 1/250 for people when possible, so if an ~f/1.0 or so lens gets me that stop, great. On the other hand, if I can get from 3200 to 1600, I'll take it.

 

Also, there are definitely times where I like getting really quick falloff in portraits (I'm not usually too fussed about the background, but the falloff on my subject). And if people want bokeh, so what?

Double post.

but when someone's nose and ears are out of focus because you've focused on the eyes it just looks awful.
