Yes, the miJ seems to be the best for most purposes of the 50/1.8's.
The early type 1 SC may have a special purpose for B&W according to AG who
ought to know. ;-)
According to an early post from John
Type 5 (miJ) has the same rear element as type 3& 4, but a totally different
front group (w/filter ring) (ZJ1669).
A late sn approx >1.1 mil 50/1.4 might be the sharpest of the bunch and can
often be had for not much more than an miJ. An miJ is a nice classic though.
The 50/3.5 macro is not very expensive either and quite highly corrected but
often very harsh bokeh. The 50 F2 macro is very expensive, last I looked and
has a very nice rendering with usually better bokeh.
One of each isn't a bad answer. ;-)
Nifty fifty fan, Mike
