If you want an idea of how superior the f1.4 is, have a look here:

I'll say it again: the f2 isn't worth putting on your camera (when there are so many better options).

Interesting test. The 50/1.4 looks very hot until you look at CA. The 50/4 is hot all over, except it is only F4. That Takumar is not bad either. The 50/1.7 is just above average everywhere, but with the fine CA it is a good choice, I assume. The Industar is a bit special, extremely bad edge resolution.
