I suppose you are right that the 50/1.4 hits the value sweet spot
between the f/1.8 and the f/1.2 versions. The 50/1.2 is remarkably
compact for an f/1.2 lens, so size wasn't a compelling reason for me
to choose the f/1.4 lens. Having not owned the 50/1.4, I can only say
that I have been very impressed with the performance of the 50/1.2.
Some day I'll buy another copy of this lens. Right now I've got a
sale pending with this one, and I will miss it.
