Reviews
-
- Sharpness at F1.2 is even from center to the edges of the image, significantly sharper than the older but highly respected 45mm F1.8 lens, and seems to be maximal at f/2.8
- very minor trace of chromatic aberration at f1.2. There is almost no distortion observed.
- Stopping down to F5.6, image shot with the 45mm PRO lens is almost flawless. Incredible level of sharpness, and almost no noticeable flaw.
- superbly fast AF and extremely accurate
- the one thing that made me fall in love with the lens, is how the rendering characteristics of the images by this 45mm PRO lens look … there is an extra dimension to the images that I did not see in my frequently used 45mm F1.8 lens, or any other lenses.

- sharp wide open but sharpest at f/2
