i bought this lens yesterday new though i have the sigma af 50 f1.4.

this lens is a pice of art.

it is  already sharp at 1.2 and very sharp to tack sharp above.

what i like is the colors rendering of this lens and the japaness quality.

the focus is very smooth ,the bokeh is very good to excllent.

this may the best 50 mm f1.2 ever.

i have pentax sms 50mm f1.2 also.

both are great but the nikon is beatiful and easy to get the right focus.

it is also light and solid wheras the pentax is heavy and solid.

when i attached it with my d610 there is no way to use the sigma.

it is my best and lovely lens with the pentax fa31ltd.

5 stars.
