I had the 50/1.2 and as I remember it was no star in the bokeh zone.
Nice machine but I came to the conclusion that 1.4 is wide enough
(doesn't stop me lusting after the new Canon EF 50/1.2L though!)
Usually the short telephotos would be optimised for good bokeh as
they tend to be used for portraits - you should be asking about
lenses like the 85/2, 100/2.8, 135/2.8, all of which would be cheaper.
