my thoughts...
All things being equal, I'd probably go with the longer lens as the fast aperture combined with the focal length will give even shallower DOF, which is a big part of the attraction of fast lenses. I'd also be using that sort of lens more for portraits and shooting performances, rather than an on the go shooter like I would be with a 25mm lens. For a lens that I'm going to be using on the go, Id want something smaller and less obtrusive and would be willing to sacrifice on speed a bit. You don't have to sacrifice much either as you can get the Pana/Leica 25mm 1.4 (that I own and really like) that though it isn't a tiny lens, is still much smaller than that 1.2 that you're looking at. If I were buying now I'd be looking at that new Sigma 30mm 1.4 too as that will be cheaper and I hear good things about it...

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
