It's natural comparison is to the Canon 50/1.2, not to the Nikon 50/1.4. Same DOF wide open, same low performance, similar silly price tag.
Comparing it to the Nikon 50mm f/1.4 is difficult...since that lens does not go to f/1.2. To compare the data you have to up half a stop, a 50/1.4 is equivalent to a 58/1.8 in terms of DOF.
I don't have a stake in either CanNikon camps nor care either way about the price of this lens, but I know there are a lot of Adamant Equivalent-DOF Dogmatics here so we do need to try to make an effort to compare this lens based on equivalency. ^_^
