Finally had a chance to test out the 58MM, not the sharpest wide open as reported, but renders such a magical image. A few random test shots!

I just did an AF Tune last night with FoCal, gonna test some portraits later today. But the test chart was incredibly sharp wide open after the AF Tune. Before, not so much, ha

The 58MM really saved me at this shoot. Normally I would shoot this shot with my 85mm but there was a wall right behind from where I was shooting, so the 85mm would have been too tight to show off the clothing. I am really fond of my DF + 58MM Combo!

Yes sir. I had her move ever so slightly forward so I can have slight separation between the subject and background. Thank you! So much for a lens not being sharp enough. And considering how dark it was the df focused pretty well.

Please don't make positive statements about the 58G, that's just not tolerated

With such a model you don't need an top notch lens. No one will notice the quality of the lens.

I just got mine today, and although it is "unsubstantial" for a $1600 dollar pro lens, I am loving the Image quality.

ƒ/4....ƒ/8.

Very lovely images but I'm missing the point of spending $1700 to shoot stopped-down.

You don't, you spend $1700 to have f1.4 when you need it.
