Boris, I would second Cotty's recommendation. Pick a 1.4 over the 1.2. The 1.2's have some compromises to get to f1.2. I cannot see any of those in the f1.4's. And an A50/1.4 or M50/1.4 may be available at a reduced price.
As for 43mm limited vs FA50/1.4, I have carried and shot with both. For a time, I carried the FA50/1.4 in the 4 lens kit (A20/2.8, 31/1.8, 50/1.4, and 77/1.8). Recently, I have substituted the 43 limited for the 50/1.4. There are not that many low light opportunities for me and shake reduction has helped. So I am trying the extra rendering skills of the 43mm limited. Regards, Bob S.
