Iv looked that site and somehow those results just doesent look like enything iv seen in real photos. It shows that 50mm 1.4 is sharper at 1.4 and smaller than 50 1.2 and thats just not true. 1.2 is sharper till 2.8 if trusting reviews and some users say its sharper till f-4, after that theyr quite equal or 1.4 slightly sharper(but who cares what it makes at f/4+). What iv seen in pictures that 1.4 makes more halation and by those samples 1.2 makes way more. It seems like those 1.2 samples arent focused correctly and thats why making more halation. Allso in my opinion you shouldnt trust these kind of studio shots on some charts, its better to look at real pictures the lens makes, charts are just little help if you cant get to pixel peep.

I assume you putted those lenses for comparison for me. Thanks for that, but iv seen enough all types of comparisons and looked thru hundreds of pics by both lenses on same camera.

I've used this before, it's pretty useful and helped me make some decesion before buying a lens.

I agree that an actual picture would be better, but it would be a bit harder to reproduce. There's bound to be some variation here due to the large volume of photos taken, but I think it's a pretty cool collection none the less.

Nice one! but from what I have heard that often you can't just compare lenses with the specs they've got so I'd prefer reading a full review when buying a lens tongue.gif

This is actually a really cool one that shows you exactly how far a certain number MM will zoom into an object:
