It's interesting to note that a 50mm 1.2 MF Nikkor is like $700 and a 50mm 1.2 Canon AF is $1500. No AF 50mm Nikkor that I see, but I wonder if such a lens would be as expensive as the canon one. Seems a big jump. *shrug*
Anyway the whole thing seems silly to devote four pages of responses to.
Hate to nitpick but those 50mm f/1.2 lenses that are like $700 are not worth owning. The Canon 50mm f/1.2 is worth it though. That said the Noct-Nikkor 58mm f/1.2 is also worth every cent of the $5000+ cost. The thought of holding one of those babies in my hand gives me a funny feeling between my legs.

Or a more likely case Nikon was so amazed by the craptacular performance of the Canon 50mm f/1.0, and it's utter poor acceptance by the photographer customers they they'd figure they wouldn't bother. Come calling again when Canon make a sharp 50mm f/1 that actually sells as well as either their current 50mm f/1.2 or the NoctNikkor 58mm f/1.2
Repeat after me: Just because we can, doesn't mean we should.
