You may try FD 55/1.2 SSC Aspherical converted. It was once the most expensive std lens in the world, even more than Noctilux 1.2. Erwin Puts said it may be the best std lens in SLR. I just got one, and still waiting for mount conversion.
I believe the FD 55/1.2 Asph you\'re referring to is the first series generation of that lens - it has a gold ring around the barrel and has an \"AL\" also introduced Canon\'s floating element - the high cost of the lens was related to the hand ground Aspheric optic. Still a very expensive lens the last one I saw on E-bay a few years ago sold for about $2,800 usd - if it were not for the difficulty of the limited FD mount I\'m sure that lens would sell for a much higher price.
