This is currently my favorite lens. I am currently looking at other fast prime lenses. I just ordered a 50mm f/1.2. It's manual, but I'm going to have fun with it.

50mm f/1.2 will always be a little more tricky...  although if you have a recent model camera with Focus Peaking I think it might allow you some flexibility.  This type of lens should produce ultra thin DOF with some very strong/attractive bokeh.  I get really nice results from the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens on the EOS M cameras although the shallow DOF forces me to rethink my composition.  The Bokeh will be much bolder than on your 32mm f/1.4 lens but presumably the MFD (minimum focus distance) with be longer.  Be sure to post some examples of what you get from this combo!
