I'm really amazed by the sharpness wide open. I'll do a side-by-side test with some other 50mm's soon.

Good photo indeed. Can you provide more life-like examples Like the model car and the helmet?

I'll take some test shots with the car&helmet this weekend... probably sunday.

Will be good to have this lens in our lens sample archive!
Just curiosity: Was it very expensive?

I paid about $370.- (â‚¬300,-) for it. I can find 3 completed listings on eBay right now; $587, $869 and $929.- So,.. is it expensive, no... is it a lot of money, yes

Was there any set up for the excellent gradation in the background?
Excellent photo.

How would you rate between the two FD 55/1.2?

No, just a white wall and the LivingColors lamp.

Updated the opening post and made a quick sharpness test with the Aspherical versus the regular 55/1.2

The crops are 1:1 on this large version.

I think it's ghosting that fogs the picture wide open, not aberrations. The two seem very good, but the S.S.C. asph. ghosts less wide open.
