ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | Zeiss Planar 50/2 ZM Sony E 50/1.8 |
price paid: | 1300 USD |
positive: | IQ, contrast, microcontrast, flare control, distortion, build quality. |
negative: | price |
comment: | The lens that is worth enough to enter a new system. It is great, with plenty of revies over the internet. But, if any of the dedicated labs (DXO and others) would test this lens against other legacy 50mm primes (such as Planar 50/2 ZM or the Leica options) I would be very interrested if this lens has anything else to offer, except AF. The Zeiss Planar 50/2 ZM that I have give me similar results all over the F stops. |
