Sue, for usage reasons, the 50/0.95 and 50/1.4 ASPH are apples and 
oranges different.

The 50/0.95 is a large (large) optic, with specialist properties.

The 50/1.4 ASPH is almost small and is an all purpose lens.  Sure, it 
only goes to f1.4, but it is not the huge piece of glass that the Nocti is.

But on the question of monetary value, isn't the 0.95 Nocti worth a lot 
more than the 50/1.4 ASPH?  I'd be tempted to get the Nocti, sell it and 
then buy the kit that you really want.
