Very interesting lens, built properly
5 of 5 found this helpful This lens isn't for everyone. f/1.2 manual focus is extremely hard to get right but when you do, the images look fantastic. The build quality is exceptional, you just use it without paying attention to it. Be careful when unpacking - Nikon doesn't bundle the rear cap, only a cheap piece of plastic that comes off easily. From f/2, it's quite a bit better than the plastic f/1.8D from f/1.8. At f/1.2 you can expect coma and chromatic aberation but if you know how and when to use it, it really doesn't matter. Don't expect image precision when it's wide open, it's built for that extra bit of light and bokeh when it's dark and you're feeling artistic.
On a D7200, the viewfinder focusing helper ">o<" thing will tell you you've focused your spot to be sharp. At f/1.2, it still has a play of about 1mm of rotating the focus ring to either side. It will keep telling you it's focused, but those 2mm matter just as much as the rest of the focus range. There's guesswork involved, and lots of trial and errors, if you're not used to it.
If you think this lens makes bad pictures, it's not the lens - it's you. It's not easy to use but it is rewarding when you finally start getting it right. Do not buy this for unwilling or clueless amateurs - it wants you to experiment and work hard.
