You omitted possibly the best FF 50mm after the Otus: the Sony Zeiss FE 50/1.8

That's my choice in today's market.

It works on a Canon body?

hmm, actually I am also not sure. Before I started the poll I actually looked up amazon to find all 50mm lenses for canon and had I seen zeiss I would have listed it there. Perhaps I missed it but did not omit it intentionally or anything and just like Great Bustard asked I don't even know if its available for canon mount either.

Actually I don't feel bad that I did not list it. Here is why. First of all it does not even fit the question on my poll. My question was 50mm lenses and not 55mm. Zeiss lens is 55mm. yes it is available for Canon and Nikon both but again its 55mm.

Zeis make at least 2 50mm planar lens with EF mount. Schneider make a real nice T2.1 with 14 blade iris, but that one is pricey at £3000 plus
