I had a chance to take one with 50mm F1.2 for a spin. Here are the results

Nice ones!

F/1.2 must be hell to shoot with for focus due to the narrow depth of field, esp. when close by... To me f/2.8 already requires more attention just to get the right things in focus. A friend once used a Leica 50mm f/0.8, he said it was an amazing lens but so difficult to use...

Autofocus was really good - look at the eye of woman in the picture.
