When you look at this lens the first thing that goes through your mind is how small it is. The second thing that goes through your head,after picking it up, is how heavy it is. The third thing that goes through your mind is did I really pay all that money for this lens, because it's the dearest lens in the 1 Nikon system stable. What if it doesn't perform like I want it to?
I must say the performance of this lens is fantastic. Is it worth the money? A definite yes on that question. At the time of these test shots, I didn't have any dark venues to visit, as a matter of fact the light was bright and harsh but with the V1 capable of 1/16000th of a second shutter speed, there was no problem using this lens, even wide open.
The focus point was the middle of the handlebars and as you can see, DOF is pretty thin at f1.2, even on this smaller 1" sensor.
