I suppose you could put a color compensating filter on any of them to
achieve the look of the other.

The shift in color can be complex, a simple blue filer may not be able
to correct it. Also, color filter cause light loss, it kill the high
speed lens benefit.

I considered that, but if someone wants to put up with softness and
vignetting to shoot wide open with the 1.2, they might as well put up
with its native color cast, too. The filter, assuming a pleasing one
could be found, could be used at the smaller apertures. Like you, I
don't think the fraction of the F stop gained is worth it. I like my
50/1.4 for sharpness, uniformity and color rendition.
