Here's how f/stops compare. I don't remember where I got these numbers. I
may have derived them, so feel free to question them.
f/1.2 is 0.45 stop faster than f/1.4
f/1.4 is 0.62 stop faster than f/1.8.

BTW, if you need an extra stop over a F1.4, then a F1.0 is the answer.
Canon just released a EF 50mm F1.0, $2500 list price.
I doubt that Canon's 50/1.0 is geared toward serious photographers who find
