That's a fun shot, Tuco, and the tonality is very good.

Great texture, Scott.

Don't you mean, "Great Scott, texture!"?

It's a little sharper wide open than the Nikon 50/1.4d and 1.8d. I haven't used g versions of those. But most of all, it's got nice bokeh at any aperture as it's got lotsa round blades, where the Nikon is good bokeh only wide open. It's definitely bigger and heavier than the Nikon but that's not an issue for me. A few people complain they needed focus fine tuning; mine works well out of the box; any lens is apt to need focus fine tuning, even Nikon's.

Did a little video at f2 with this lens, just playing around (aka testing) to see how it looks. No double lines. Pleasing blur in the foreground and background. Less noisy focusing than the D lenses when doing video, but the in-camera sound on the d600 is pretty poor anyways. (it's got a mic jack which should be used)
