Best legacy 50 f1.4 prime

I have the Zeiss C Sonnar 50mm F1.5 ZM. It's one of my all time favorite lenses, with wonderful character wide open and excellent sharpness and contrast stopped down. The lens does exhibit field curvature which isn't an issue once you learn to work with it.

It's extremely well made and - most importantly - remarkably compact. If it weren't compact, that would defeat the purpose of why I use the NEX system in the first place.

I've posted my thoughts and some full size NEX-7 RAW files here:
