But what do you think is the probability that a Canon will bring a revision of their so called "dream lens" 50mm f/0.95 again?
We got Nikon's roadmap and their 58mm f/0.95 is planned for next year. Do you think Canon will counter that move with the "dream lens" or do you think the 50mm 1.2 already covers that base?

Canon just brought a 50mm f1.2 to market, they aren't about to start with another 50mm design anytime soon. Maybe 20 years time, who knows. And no one is jumping ship to Nikon because they have a f0.95 lens either when Canon already have f1.2 covered.
