My apologies if this has been discussed recently, but why is a 50mm f1.2
worth $275 and a 50mm f1.8 worth $20?
Is it really a spectacular lens?

IMO it is.
It's not so much the super speed. It's the resolution, contrast and
extremely bright viewfinder in low light. Two of my 50/1.4 MC lenses of
the last formulation for them (S/N's over 1M) are nearly equal in
resolution, but do not have the contrast.
