It is how the background blurs... some time highlights are round, squared or doughnuts, also, has to do with how the colours blend, it is subjective and really has to do with how you like your photos.
Also, I realize it is a long shot but are there any mounts that auto focus will work with?
Not before FA mounts, before that it was all manual camera.
Is there a list somewhere of all compatible mounts with the two cameras I am considering?
with pentax it is easy, Kmount or else you need an adapter, like the m42
Would there be a noticeable difference in speed on a f/2 over an f/1.2?
Depends who you talk to... it is a full stop of light... so it could mean the difference between a shot taken at 1/50 vs 1/20, which could mean shaky or still on a 50mm lens.
icywarm, I am interested, just let me get a few more answers first =) Looking forward to some bargain glass!
Ok, I often have lots of choices... plus you can all garage sale locally for some bargains.
