I'd sell it and put the money toward a lens that I knew I wanted. That's
what I did with my old Rikenon 55mm f1.2. Gorgeous lens and I hated to
part with it just because it was so solid, bright, and absolutely killer
on the LX. That dang lens almost turned me into a ... COLLECTOR! Ye gods...
If you are asking what kind of project I'd do with an f1.2 I'd do
something requiring shallow DOF and low light - but that extra half stop
(compared to a 1.4 lens) don't get you much of either and there's not
much that you *need* a 1.2 to do since from 1.4 on it is redundant with
much more common lenses.

I have an A 50mm 1.2 sitting around collecting dust. I don't have good
enough vision to focus manually with my K-5, and I don't trust the
focus indicator, so I rarely use the lens. After yesterday's
discussions of future lenses from Pentax and my discovery of how much
it goes for on eBay, I'm considering selling it to pay for future
purchases.
I'd like to put it to work a little before I make up my mind, but am
running short on inspiration lately, so I thought I'd post an informal
survey:
What would you do with a 50 1.2?
