I like these very much. In past89, the wisp of vapor against the dark background is great. I'm also using a 50mm Canon f/1.2 in LTM. I had thought these had a reputation for being soft at full opening, but mine is sharp, (and obviously yours) albeit with a very curved plane of focus, so I try to match the subject to this. (Maybe it was only the f/0.95 that had the softness). These shots are better than anything I've taken yet with mine. Thanks for posting.
