Upon further examination, I'll retract my initial answer and go with the f/1.2. Very interesting. Apologies for including the 2nd set in the discussion; I see that they were irrelevant to the initial post.

Yeh I like the 1.2 too. When you shoot with it it's fun, everything looks kinda dreamy (When shooting at 1.2)

Ha-ha! I'm pretty sure you're not a little Asian guy, though.

I'd like to see both lenses at 1.4 or 1.8 taking the same shot.

But if so, the 1,2 does not have a better bokeh. It may have a better (smoother) background but for me (and for the most explanations I found in the last years reading about photography) "bokeh" is created by the small light circles built by the lens. Maybe with this link it´s better to understand what is a better bokeh for me

Sorry, I disagree with these statements. The discussion on how to do these things or to explain how it's done is a large part of why many of us participate on these forums. It's a journey to make "photos that are impressive" for most people. There are very few people that pick up a camera and are able make impressive images starting out. Some are better than others, but it usually takes a bit of time. I understand what you are trying to say, but the discussion part is why we are here.Ulrich Brodde wrote: At least all this is theory.
It´s more important to do photos which are impressive than to discuss how to do them.
