By default the control ring is setup to control the aperture which was an issue initially because I mostly shoot wide open and I kept bumping it by mistake. One thing that I'm starting to really like is the control ring (this is my first lens that has it). It's hard to describe but it's a little awkward for me to hold this lens with the Z7. I'm still getting use to the handling due to the size of the lens and the focus ring being so large (but so smooth). In terms of rendering I like it, it's super sharp and the bokeh is smooth. The 50mm 1.2S is similar to a lot of the other S line prime lenses, very sharp wide open and technically it checks off all the boxes in what you want in a modern prime. Speaking of the 58mm 1.4G and the FTZ adapter as I'm sure most people know it becomes way more behaved then it did on any F mount camera that I've used it on in regards to nailing focus. I like that the lens is fairly small and light although it bulks up with the FTZ adapter on the Z bodies. These characteristics have allowed me to be more creative with my shots.

This comes with a huge drop off in sharpness from the center of the frame when shooting wide open, but for me I'm ok with that. In terms of rendering I think it really comes down to preference and I definitely prefer the bokeh and the transition from the focus area to the out of focus areas in a picture with the 58mm. Thanks man, you're too kind! Honestly the 58mm 1.4G is my all time favorite lens so I'm definitely bias off the bat.

Yeah, but you seem to make all the lenses shine What are your thoughts vs the 58mm f1.4G? Your shots with that lens REALLY showed that 3D pop and rich colours!
