This afternoon a package from Stephen Gandy arrived at my office,  
containing the 1.2/35mm. Very nice, solid lens, with a look not too  
dissimilar from a 1960s vintage Leica lens, with the knurled focusing  
ring and so on.

As soon as I came home from work, I set about to test the lens, using  
some of my favourite test targets. The first image was shot at f2 or  
2.8, the second one wide open:

I think this lens will be just fine.
