[net.rec.photo] bad adjustment or bad lens?

dalka (12/12/82)

I just got a new lens. Its a 50mm lens which opens to a 1.2 apeture.
I wanted to buy a the fastest lens I could for low light situations.
There's only one problem. When I point it at a light source such as
a christmas tree. all the lights look out of focus. I try the same
thing with my other lens and I have a very clear image. When I use the
50mm lens in normal situations, things look fine. Is the problem
inherent because the super fast lens, or is it a adjustment problem.
I'm fairly disgusted and just about ready to take it back and try
the 50mm 1.4
