just a quick comparison to keep myselve busy in my quarantine, between the Nikkor 55 1:1.2 and the sigma 50mm 1:1.4 and just for fun i've trown in the nikkor 24-85 1:2.8-3.5. Subject as you can see is the budha statue in my garden against the background rhododenderon now in full bloom 
Ive upoaded the shots in full resolution, did this the first time don't know if anyone can see them as such, it would be worth it so you could examine the full potential of the files.
Note, the 55mm 1:1.2 is next to inposible to critical focus handheld, i've tried to focus on the eye of the budha, it worked in the 1:1.2 shot but mised on the 1:1.4 shot, this is a hit and mis process, manual focussing such a lens on a digital body will lead to much frustration...
Also note the out of focus areas of the sigma are smoother than the nikkors.
