Ok, just found an old shot with the 50/1.2 (most likely shot at F1.2 or F2), 
sorry for the color cast as the film was poorly processed:

Look at the OOF highlight you will see the bokeh is not really pleasing. I 
also have test shots compare 35-70/3.6 and 50/1.2 but take time to find out.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the images, here are the one that looks good but one just can't
confirm it with one image. Bokeh is relative, no easy measurement data, you
need to compare them.

This one I can't vote for good bokeh:

For close up I have one from 50/1.4 that I believe is better.

Hmmmm,

I don´t agree about 50 1.2 bad bokeh. I also used to had one when I had
OM4T and 80% of my shots were made with it. Despite of being soft wide
open, bokeh was charming and pleasant. I send you a picture of a lovely
charming bokeh of it. Maybe you can put it in your website for Dawid
Loubser.

Regards,

Dave
