Yes
Anyone tried one of the above?

I've heard various reports on each about bokeh, sharpness, weight, size, radioactivity(!) and I've decided the only way to tell is to buy one (whichever I can find at a good price)

I have a lovely old OM1 that I'm digging out and really like the 50mm f1.4 I have, but you know.. 1/3 of a stop can't hurt, can it ;)

Cheers

Never tried it; I have the f/1.4. Test reports at the time rated the 50mm lenses in this order: f/1.8 f/1.2 f/1.4 so the f/1.2 should perform better than your f/1.4.
 
I have a Nikon 50 F1.4 and its brilliant such a cut above the F1.8 in build quality its my fave lens.

DOF at close up is loony.
 
Don't have a 1.2 Oly, but from what I gather comparing across reviews is that it'll be similar to the Canon one I do have. In which case I say get it if you can! I love f1.2!
 
Do it, I've got the Nikon 55mm f1.2 it's a challenge just to try and focus but it looks like no other lens.
