Thanks indeed Michael I knew rather well the use and problems of available light lenses as I actually own, from other brands not Canon, lenses of f1:1 and f1:1,2 but my main curiosity was the utility of AF as my other speedy lenses are, of course, MF. I see now clearly after those interesting mails that the Canon lenses have rather slow AF and most of users do prefer to focus manually. So I do not move to the Canon 50 mm f1:1. I use these available light lenses where flash or tripod are not allowed and , by my experience, only a 10% of shoots are OK but it is better then nothing. BTW where no camera is allowed I use a Ricoh GR1 loaded with 1600 ASA negative film. You know I'm spanish and I do hate prohibitions.
