Yeah true. There’s way too much focus on the little differences but at the end of the day they’re so minor vs what is otherwise available. A life of luxuries with the latest gear! Cheers

Regarding your third point Lance, I wonder if there actually is some sample variation? Full transparency, I would love to have the 50 mm 1.2 S. I think it’s an amazing lens but I struggle with the idea of having three lenses that are similar. However I did try two different copies of the 1.2 and I would say both copies were not as sharp as the 1.8 S when both lenses were wide open. When both were shot at 1.8, they were equally as sharp but the bokeh was still nicer than the 1.2S.
I’m certainly not wanting to continue the conversation from someone who just joined the board. However, I did find this one point of your’s interesting and I don’t know if people have discussed it yet.
Thanks!

I'm shooting the Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 S on a Z7, and it is not soft. As far as I remember there was one video that said so, but it may have been an issue with the respective copy or some other reason.
You're posting theoretical MTFs. Here's reality on the Nikon from Lenstips:
Here's the Sony 50mm f/1.2 for comparison.
Red dot is resolution in the center. 70-80 is appropriate for 36-45mp.
The curve on the Nikon is wrong, and as a result you're not getting what you should out of a $2,100 lens. Better off with the 50mm f/1.8 S to be honest and that lens is flat and dull.
Firstly, you cannot compare lenses across different systems.
Secondly, I always find Lenstips results a little suspect. They never seem to marry up with other well respected reviewers.
Thirdly, I own the both the 50 f1.8S and the 50 f1.2S and it is stunningly sharp wide open and at least as sharp as the 50 f1.8S. I mean, do you even have the lens or going off charts to support your agenda?
Sixthly, you've registered on the 1st of April 2022 and have four posts all criticising a number of Nikon lenses.
There may be sample variation, but I cannot comment on that as I do not know. If there is a difference of sharpness it is un-noticeable and I certainly don't see it or for that matter, care. But then, is it even relevant? As I say, I have both but I have not used the 50 f1.8S since getting the 50 f1.2 S and the 50 f1.2 is almost always in my bag.
