Look at the multicolored blob in the upper right corner of this shot. I think this is an oof light that, because of the aberrations in this lens at f/1.0 on the outside, has focused the primary colors at different places and given a prismatic look to the highlight. This aberration can also be seen in B&W pix as "disking" or altering the shape of oof specular highlights. This is a lot of the charm of this lens to me. You want to see REAL aberrations at full aperture try the Canon 50/0.95 RF lens.... glow city... JB
