What would you do with a 50 1.2?


I'd keep the lens and use it. I still regret having sold mine. I've had
a bunch of 50mm. lenses, and the SMC-A 50mm. 1.2 has been the best by a
wide margin. I don't mean the others I've had or still have (M 50mm.
1.4, A 1.7, F 1.7, DA 55mm. 1.4, Helios 44-K 58mm. 2.0) are bad, but the
one I've liked the best is the A 1.2

Maybe my copy needs service, but it's never seemed all that great to
me. What do you like about it?

I think it is better wide open than the M 50mm 1.4, which is a very good lens. It also betters it at mid apertures, and, in my view, has a more pleasant colour rendition. The M is a bit in the cold side, the F 50mm 1.7 is very sharp but has a slightly hotter colour rendition, while the A 1.2 is more neutral for my eye.

But at the insanely high prices the A 50mm 1.2 is being sold for nowadays, perhaps it is a good time to sell it if you have no use for the lens and put that money towards other photo equipment you want or need more.
