From what I notice from chiff's film pic.. The middle highlights was overblown and was pulled back..
Notice the vignetting at the sides on film compare to the middle... When I use my nikon 50mm f1.2, I always -1/2 a stop because the middle always overexpose...
Hope to see more pics taken from slides, M8 sensor is special because it suppose to reduce vignetting. On slides, all the flaws will be clearly seen.. Sharpness, contrast and everything...
So far in nokton f1.1 flickr group, not much impressive pics... To be honest, all the japnese lense I own are sharp.. Never heard of new Jap lense that are not, even my kookoo mis-focus all the time 50mm f1.2 L lens is sharp..
