Pentax 50mm f1.2 Lens - Most Demanding Lens I've Ever Shot (also most rewarding) - Pentax K-1

I don't think any lens has ever intrigued me as much as the SMC Pentax 50mm f1.2 lens has. I'll admit, I bought it because a f1.2 aperture on a full-frame camera sounded cool. Bokeh is all the rage. But it's more then cool. It's challenging my photography. But not in the way I expected. It's not just a manual focus challenge, that part is fairly easy thanks to the Pentax K-1's live view focus peaking and punch in zoom. It's figuring out the light, the angles of light that cause contrast differently in the lens. It's figuring out the distance from the subject for peak sharpness and depth of field rendition. It's an exercise, but one I keep wanting to take.

Video is shot on my Pentax K-5 with the Samyang 35mm 1.4 lens. 360 video is from a Rylo 360.
