Interesting test. I went for the FD 50mm f/1.2 (non-L version) and put an Ed Mika mount conversion on it. That too has the mirror meets lens problem close to infinity on a FF body. Unfortunately that lens isn't at all sharp wide open (kinda like the f/1.0), although I can pretend that is part of the attraction.
On the f/1.0, I'm kinda kicking myself for passing on one years ago. It was early on in my photography hobby and I had not long switched from Sony to Canon. With hindsight, the price was a bargain at just over £1k. Even if I just bought it to sell it I'd be laughing now.
Out of interest, was a more modern f/1.4 a consideration? I know there's the fractional stop difference, but opens up a lot more possibilities.
