Nothing, but in your title you state it is a f1.2 and your first post says it is a f2.

The Pentax f/1.2 looks like a very tasty lens! I have the Nikkor 55/1.2 but only bought it because it was a hidden extra in a Nikon body auction. Couldn't afford it normally

£20? Are you sure it's the f/1.2 version? If so, you have a massive bargain by a few hundred quid! Are you sure it's not the SMC 50mm 1:2?

That's a mega bargain if you have the f/1.2 version! That said, the f/2 version is a decent performer too. Post some snaps when you receive it please, I'd love to see the results

The M 2/50 is a decent lens, nothing special. 20 quid is a bit much for it though. There are better lenses for the same price.

It's a pretty common mistake to incorrectly list a lens as "1.2" instead of "1:2" or "f/2.0"
I've seen many Ebay auctions with that listed incorrectly.
Most of the time it's very easy to find out, because even from a small thumbnail image you can easily tell by the size of the front element what the lens really is. 
Certainly for 50mm, 55mm lenses... |

You will have to spend lots to get better IQ than your OM 50/1.8
There are few inexpensive 50's that are really great(sharpness & flare resistance), this is one of them, now if you are looking for a different rendering, then you will have lots to choose from.
