Only one stop difference!
It`s the 55 mm 1.2 , the first of the three , mechanically not as strong as the 5o f1.2 and certainly No match for the Noct Nikkor ( drool ), mine had a few slight knocks , it " jiggles " ,so when turning the focus ring , the image moves a bit , but it still works okay , we go way back that 55 and I , am rather attached to it ( as I am to all my lenses , and I have 2 Nikkors 50 F 2.0 already , one is the version before the coupling ridge ( did I mention that I am attached to my gear )
I think it is well appreciated where it currently lives.
It would be wasted with me.
The 50mm f1.2 units I have been seeing on ebay have gone for £300. Too much for a MF lens of that vintage.
I can get the new 50mm f1.4 AFS for £300. This is latest design and optimised for digital use.
