[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Eric Peter Dechert, no mean critic, has used both versions professionally and stands behind the f/1.2 as the better lens, as does noted pro Mike Fletcher, though Mike owns the f/1 version as he was unable to find an f/1.2 at a decent price. (He will be a guest speaker at the upcoming Zeiss Historica clambake on 4th October in Philadelphia, Eric: escape from the North-West for a weekend and you can ask him about this yourself!) The number of f/1.2 lenses sold was minuscule, perhaps less than 500; I doubt if many more than this of the f/1 have been sold. I find it surprising that you apparently know a number of professionals who have used both: the above two are the only pros of my acquaintance who have used EITHER, much less both, of these lenses.
