I have both lenses and yes, my copy of the 50mm f1.2 L is a tad soft even at the center when shot wide open while my 85mm f1.2 II L is tack sharp.
35 & 50 mm are my favorite focal lengths to use for street photography, but I use the 35 more often because I don't have as many focusing issues compared to the 50. Though the 50 does give a very different, almost surreal "look" when shot wide open which I love.
On both my 1DX and 5Dmk3, the 50mm f1.2 is slow to adjust focus wide open on servo mode. I know it's a lot of glass to move within that lens, hence why I'm gonna rent and test out the Sigma 50 f1.4 to see if it does a better job.
