Why Your F1.2 Lenses Suck

I remember when I first really started getting into photography in the early 2000s that f1.2 lenses were considered peak photography. Even holding one was something special. They were so hard to use, but the images they made were so intensely beautiful. Back then, the only ones that I'd see were from Canon and Leica. Nikon had a few, but no photographers ever really seemed to use them. Fast forward to today, and nearly every manufacturer has an f1.2 lens.
