How can you tell them apart, John? Just curious.
It's most prevalent in the chromes with high detail subject material. I
can see the resolution difference. The 50/1.2 has a crispness with
ultra-fine detail the 50/1.8 doesn't have. The first impression is one of
greater clarity in the image . . . more like real life. I would not
denigrate the 50/1.8 . . . it has excellent resolving power and was
surprising itself at times. It took slides projected with a good projector
lens to see it . . . it was the switch from Kodak's standard f/2.8 4"
projector lens to an f/2.8 Schneider-Kreuznach Prolux (on the same
projector) when I began to notice it.
