Ok, here is bokeh samples from some 50mm and 85-100mm lenses, for the long
one I can't see any difference on their bokeh except the 75-150 at ~100mm
which seems to have more DOF. For the 50mm, the one with best bokeh is
50/1.4 MC and the poorest one is 50/3.5 MC macro.
They are around 3MB each, you can download and compare them. Besides bokeh,
you can also see the center resolution.

Concerning your question about the 50/1.2, sorry I have sold it long ago due
to the poor bokeh. Yes... it is even poorer than the 50/3.5 at portrait
distance.
