It has been in production since 1978, so longer than me. It&#039;s a tiny metal tank with manual aperture and focus. A fun little lens to play around with. <br />
<br />
Other than age, the f/1.2 aperture is the really unusual part. Depth of field is extemely shallow, the lens is very fast, and focusing is very hard wide open. It also has a very particular bokeh that is both soft as well as a little chaotic. Parts in focus seem to &quot;glow&quot; a little.<br />
