As Steve said, there is that rare Olympus 180/2 and an even rarer/longer 250/2 (close enough to 200). Above 200, you have the Nikon 300/2.
Years back, Son did comparison between these 200ish fast lenses and the Oly is not as good as the rest. However, the 250/2 is supposed to be quite better than the 180/2 so it might hang with the like of Cron 180 and FD 200/1.8. I saw shots from the APO Sonnar, and not only it's not quite as sharp as others, but its bokeh and purple fringing bring shame to Zeiss name really.
And I DO think we need to split hair at this level . The price for any of these is not a small sum for a one trick pony to have unique-looking portraits. For any other use, smaller/lighter lens can do the job just as well, and I'm a picky one in term of sharpness. I would never pay for a Cron 180 at its current price right now, though I do want to repurchase one. It has nothing over the Canikon 200/2, definitely not over the Canon 200/1.8.
