I'm sure it's a very good lens. But I really like my 1.2 for natural light portraiture because it provides such a shallow DOF and smooth bokeh.

The 1.2 is a very good lens... I had one a few years ago.... But there is this obsession with that 1.2 that is unwarranted imho... It's a very heavy lens... And I found that whilst that 1.2 was a neat trick in portraits... It wasn't really that useful... combined with the cost I think the 1.8 is vastly better value... And actually I think the one I have is sharper than the 1.2 I had... For me it comes down to the fact I sold the 1.2, There is no way I would get rid of the 1.8 now...
But, the 1.2 is a excellent lens, and if you like it then that's not a bad thing! If OTOH you don't have £1200 to drop, spend £259 like I did and get optical nirvana!
