What...the...SHIT...is this color bleeding effect? Is that what they call chromatic aberration, or whatever.

Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D AF

ITT people realize that some shit trips even good glass up.

Also, that's not classic CA, that's purple fringing, which comes from some botched interaction between the scene (usually the sky), the lens, and a digital sensor.

It has to be a chipped lens, which means yes, probably.

No, he basically was shooting the lens to its breaking point:

1. Almost wide open. Almost all lenses are worse closer to wide open.
2. For bokeh, small, multitudinus objects will not jive well with even the best lenses. For example, leaves.
3. Shooting against the sun or sky is hell for CAs. That all he got is purple fringing testifies well for the lens, especially considering it wasn't even designed for digital and purple fringing wasn't an issue.

And other 50/1.4s would've performed about the same.

Nikon is pig disgusting. If during WW2 the Allies saw that Japan would do this sort of horror years later then they'd have dropped at least another nuke on them.

On technical bullshit, it probably is best a few stops down, like most lenses. Only a few lenses specially designed to be good wide open or just away from it are. Though, I could see that one being designed that way, but it would suck for people who want depth of field and need a weatherproof 85 in EF mount.

Aesthetically, the EF 50 and 85 f/1.2 lenses aren't to my taste. I've seen their look been used well in a way I like (including by you) but I personally, subjectively think they've got too glammy and slick of a look to them.

1. Go outside on a sunny day.
2. Focus close; that's another thing that stresses lenses.
3. Open up.
4. Point it at a dark object above your head with a busy background.

It won't be visual sex there, either.

How?

Most lenses are better a few stops down from wide-open.

Some lenses are designed to be better closer to wide open. I don't know if the EF 85/1.2 is one of them.

I personally don't like the way the two lenses I mentioned look, from the photographs I've seen with them. That's a subjective judgement.

If you take issue with the words "glammy and slick," they're imprecise and the best I could think of when I made the post.

Try the lens before telling people what it is like.
