If a stinkin' 50 is going for $3k+, I'm thinking this would easily do $10-12k. That having been said, I wouldn't buy one even if I had the money lying around. Just too short for an expensive prime like that. I'm either for wide, or reaaaaaaaally long. It's not only the price, it's the size as well! François

But returning back to a potential 50mm f/1.2 L issue...I think there's a lot of fixing to be done on the 50mm f/1.4: 1. A Ring USM motor which is supposed to be more reliable, faster, and quieter. 2. A faster lens, with good WIDE-OPEN performance. 3. It shouldn't be as massive as the 85mm f/1.2L 4. Build quality of an L class. 5. Reasonable price. Well as far as reasonably priced, the 50 1.4 is. It's one of the best values out there along with the 85 1.8. Go UCLA

Well, not demands exactly, but a wish-list...and given I don't have a 50mm prime yet - I would "throw" $600 for such....

Well keep in mind, if it stayed at f/1.4 and became an L prime, it probably would still be closer to the 1,000 range, as evident by the 35 1.4, which is what wishes you have for it. Go UCLA
