PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The MD Rokkor 50 mm f/1.2 is the successor of the legendary MC Rokkor-PG 58 mm f/1.2, a.k.a. the “bokeh king”. It uses a different optical design, is smaller and lighter. The change from MC to MD in this case also meant going from 8 to 6 aperture blades. 
 
So what can you expect from this lens?
Crazy sharpness like Fuji’s own 35mm?  NO!
Edge to edge sharpness and no light falloff at the edges? NO!
Ultra shallow depth of field?  YES!
Oldschool lens characteristics? HELL YES!
 
The lens is soft wide open. No doubt about this. There is a subtle glow to it. This is partly because of the relative ease with which you misfocus a f/1.2. For portraits of women this is quite a nice feature though. At f/4 it is very sharp. f/8 is maximum resolution for this lens. There is a slight light falloff towards the edges, which I really don’t mind, since I always add vignetting in post process anyway. (landscape photographers…move right along  )
The background blur is GOOD. It goes from sharp in focus to complete bokeh creamy-mosh in just under 0,5 cm at 1m shooting distance. It really is something! There are some noise in my out of focus specular highlights, but it is due to the variable ND filter that I have mounted on it. The ND filter is an absolute must when shooting this lens open in sunlight. A 3 stop ND is enough. The color rendering of the lens is nice. Colours are natural and they have nice contrast. There is not a lot of chromatic aberration, if hardly any. I do think that this lens is best suited as a black and white lens, though.
