Its a :" What's available" comparison.I can still buy a Cannon F1.2 , and maybe even a modified Cannon f0.95 or Nikon f1.1 lens. However since, as far as I know, nobody makes a real modern lens of this size for screw mount cameras, this is the only comparison possible. So, if you where ask to compare a 50mm F1 lens with another lens, what would you do? Regards, Horst Schmidt.
