I always like sharp lenses, aren't we all. The reason I bought this lense is for the speed. Using f/1.2 is a relieve in bar shoot, but without split screen its very difficult tofind focus in a dim light situation. I wish Nikon make an autofocus like the competitor does. Very nice bokeh. I guess I have to get use to it again until my eyes give up on me
