you said you had that one already so i figured you weren't satisfied with it. there is a reasonable chance it might be my second choice after the rokkor 58/1.2. i find that the c/y needs to be stopped down to f/2.8 for nice bokeh (where hexagons start to become a problem) through the range and not too much glow while the rokkor is there by f/2. depending on the situation i might prefer the takumar, the rokkor 50/1.4, or 55/1.7 over the c/y, but they are all about equal with different strengths. stopped down to f/4 and the contax is the clear winner.

Three favorites of mine:

Voigtlander 58mm f/1.4
Olympus OM 50mm f/2 Auto-Macro
Contax G 45mm f/2

The Olympus is, to my eyes, incredible.
