Kenrockwell reviews the Nikon 50mm f/1.2 Nikkor AI-S Manual Focus and writes;
“The 50mm f/1.2 works better than I had expected. It’s super sharp, and distortion is as good or better than the common 50mm f/1.4! Lateral color is very low. It’s better than most zooms. Distortion is very slight barrel. It’s almost invisible even if you’re looking for it, even on film.”

Jewel indeed

They do not make them like this any more
“Wide open at f 1.2 the depth of field is very shallow and one can isolate the subject completely from the environment. The bokeh of this lens is legendary and a beauty to behold. The sharpness and color rendering is phenomenal and makes the photo unsurpassed.” – By sdone

The Master Lens
“At F/1.2, you will be able to create dreamy photos with bokeh that other lenses can only dream of. You’ll be able to melt away your background easier than butter in a hot frying pan. At F/2 and above, you will be able to capture incredible detail that will shock and pleasantly surprise you. I would highly recommend getting the DK-17M magnifying eyepiece with this lens for your D700/D800 to make manual focusing even easier. Trust me, you will thank me for it.” – By lovegaze
