DA*55 is a dandy lens. I have tried it once and wasn't impressed, but
that's obviously not representative of anything, except may be my lack
of skill.
Personally, I own A 50/1.2 and I reckon it will be the last lens I will
ever disown.
To 'properly' introduce myself to you, here is a link to one of so many
photos I've taken with A 50/1.2 including wide open as this one:

Be sure to browse around my blog :-).

Proud owner of a DA*55 here (formerly owned the FA50). I find the
lens to be a stunner; everything from handling, build quality, bokeh,
clarity/contrast, sharpness, and wonderfully functional MF ring. The
focus isn't blazing - but it's huge focus throw and emphasis on
low-noise makes this understandable. I'm not sure if the SDM motor is
having to do less work, was updated since the DA* zooms, or the lens
is just less-owned, but I've yet to see or hear of a DA*55 failure.
Anyone here with personal experience or thoughts? Here is a K-5 and
DA*55 shot to wet your collective appetites:
