That lens is a 16 year old lens, hardly indicative of anything. Try a Canon RF 50mm f/1.2.

  > That lens is a 16 year old lens 40 years old actually, still made new by nikon in their japanese factories to this day. > Canon RF 50mm f/1.2 I'd happily test one but it costs more than my whole 35mm + medium format setups + darkroom equipment. It weights 3 times more than the nikkor and uses 77mm filter instead of 52mm so this is already a big no-no in my books. I'm sure there are good fast lenses, it's just that they have so many drawbacks that it doesn't make sense for the vast majority of photographers.

    Oops, I looked at the wrong lens. I was using this website: http://www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/lenses.html http://www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/lenses.html >I'm sure there are good fast lenses, it's just that they have so many drawbacks that it doesn't make sense for the vast majority of photographers. My point was its not fair to use an old obsolete lens to denounce fast aperture primes of today.
