Well if you're not prepared to post just the pics from those two lenses, then yes, I guess I will. Have to wonder why you are worried about posting them though...

Too rainy today though.
The F1.2 lens will let in more light and may wiegh more.

Why would I buy an expensive lens I don't need? I don't have a lens of that cost to post.


Here is something I would suggest to the seroius photographer. Check out a optical specialist with a test projector and collimator. Borrow 5 indentical lenses you want to buy from a photographic shop saying you will buy one. Then take it to the specialist to get them tested. Choose the best and get it collimated to your camera.

You would be surprised the difference between indentical lenses and what good collimation will do.
