I have the Ultron 35/1.7 VM and like it very much. However, on A7 series cameras, it suffers from significant field curvature, heavy vignetting and color shifts (not so much on the A7Rii.) You can deal with the latter two issues with the Adobe Flat Field Correction plugin (for Lightroom or PS) or with CornerFix (all other raw converters.) The results are excellent.
However, after reading so many rave reviews of the ZM 35/1.4 on this site, I recently broke down and bought a new copy that was being discounted and also qualified for a Zeiss rebate. The final cost to me was $1650. Is the ZM superior to the Ultron on my A7ii? Yes, indeed, in almost every way. Does the larger size bother me? Not at all, because it's still not very large, and it balances well on the camera. The ZM does have some field curvature, but much less than the Ultron. It's not the fault of the lens, but of the thick filter stack on the Sony sensor.
Just my opinion.

Rob, thanks for review. Say, would you happen to have any pics of the same scene shot with both lenses?
