I've had the 56mm f1.2 WR for about a month and I'm still not sure if I like this lens over the 50mm f1. On paper, the reduction in weight, shorter MFD, and the optics wide open is a major improvement over 50mm f1. But I think the autofocus and the out of focus/bokeh rendering in 50mm f1 is much better. Outside of shooting numbers printed on a white sheet, 50mm f1 delivers on the image quality front.

It's getting really annoying when I use 56mm f1.2 WR for events and I'm getting lots of missed focus shots... Anyone having AF issue with this lens?
