I had wanted a 1.2 for no real reason. I had one and never really used it
much. I sold it for more that I paid for it so I was way happy. I managed
to snag a New in Box (maybe mint as opposed to new) 1.4 with serial number
over 2,000,000 which has been an excellent performer...and I don't have to
worry about any radioactive stuff. Love it and is used the most.

I also think my 1.4s are good enough to me, the 1.2s doesn't gave me enough
reasons to keep them especially my 50/1.2 gave me a $290 resell value.
