LOL! Just think how many portrait subjects will be improved by the Yongnuo's rendering. The extraordinarily small sweet spot and the vanishingly thin depth of field (so-called) will force the photographer to emphasize any subject's best feature, assuming that the feature in question is not much larger than a dimple or a couple of beautiful eyelashes.

Should be nice at f1.7 or 2.8, same as the Noct or any other historical or contemporary lens in this focal range.

You got me thinking. I'm not scentist, but I guess it has to have a negative focal length to result in a negative f number. Like -50mm with an aperture size of 42mm. It's hard to imagine, and physically impossible, and probably useless! I assume it would see as far behind itself that it would be capturing the light in front of it by bending it backwards and sucking it in! Ah, my head hurts, lol.

It's because KZread video bitrates are so low that the encoding eats all the noise. We just don't see it in the final product. In the 7:28 shot, you can find evidence of it in the compression artifacts. The noise is just so high-frequency that the cosine transform components that encode it are omitted.

When you display the images on the screen, are they post edit or is it literally just when you take the shot? Just looks so amazing on color and so damn sharp.

My brother in law had, or still has, one of those old Canon 7 rangefinder cameras with the f0.95 lenses and I remember it was really soft. I haven't seen it since about 1982. I'm old.

That bokeh is pretty creamy, but there are a couple of lenses that beat that with a whole nutha level of creamy! The Minolta/Sony 135/2.8 STF is my pick for creamiest bokeh ever, although unless you shoot Sony A-mount or adapt it to Sony FE then it's not an option for most peeps. It also has a t stop of t/4.5 due to its apodization filter, and is manual focus only, but it's capable of stunning creamy images! I bought mine brand new but discounted for 1/10th the price of that Noct!

Get the same focal plane with a slightly dimmer, slightly longer focal range (with great autofocus, great optics, a much lower price, and without even touching up on getting your full subject into focus or composing them in their environment).

Why didn't he use MF assist eve magnification? This is a perfect situation to use it.
