Wow, wanting to take a picture without a device? Is Sony working on some sort of quantum camera?
Google Glass competitor.
Speed booster seems to be much better vs the lens turbo wide open on that 50mm makro.
Sorry Ken Rockwell… quote:
“2001 Minolta repackaged exactly the same optics a fourth time and added an “LE” to the marketing name in 2001 as a “Limited Edition.” Who’s kidding who?”
Sorry Ken, you’re kidding yourself. The Minolta 85/1.4 LE is a different optical design than all the other excellent Minolta 85/1.4 lenses. Specifically, it is 200 grams heavier because the front and third lens elements are far thicker than the previous 85’s.
See the comparison here:

Otherwise great review of a great optic. Absolutely fantastic. But don’t say it’s as good as the ZA until you’ve compared, or seen comparisons. The ZA seems ever so slightly better with higher contrast wide open and smoother OOFA. Check it. Also look for the Minolta 100/2… if you want something really spectacular.
Ken being Ken. But anyone who is already happy with the wide open performance of the standard Minolta 85/1.4 has no reason to buy the Limited.
Touit 12 does not impress me much.
I agree. All the reviews and samples of the touit 12mm I have looked at, have left me disappointed. I was hoping for a similar performance like the distagon 15/2.8.
