It's all been said, apart from the Big Boy Toy crowd, who NEED the latest F0.75 lens, because they can :)
Personally I only go to F1.7 (AF) or F2 (MF), there's next to no difference between exposures at these apertures. I like my Pentax-F 1.7 in terms of IQ and the speed sometimes helps, however I rarely use 50mm on DSLR, it's an odd length for me not being a portrait taker. The "slow" F2.8 40mm however...............
But I mainly shoot wildlife and as the lottery hasn't chosen me yet, shooting at anything north of about F6.7 is a pipe dream. Because that's telephoto, I can get all the subject isolation and blurry backgrounds I need.
As I find over and over again with this hobby, it's horses for courses. Pick the lens & body for the job, not the badge.
