My Loxia 50mm has arrived. Not the best weather for testing a new lens (hard to see if it is sharp ), but I took a few shots outside the house yesterday and it looks very promising. Nice and compact too, and easy to use.
Here are a few photos from the snowy walk today:

Helena, I feel the same about your images !
Ronny, a little bit of a self portrait in the frog's eye, huh? Again, your macro or closeup images are incredibly beautiful !
I followed your discussions regarding various 50mm lenses, including Nokton 50/1.5
Seboh and Samuli made very valuable pro and con comments and I tend to agree with their opinions. Nokton 50/1.5 LM hardly excels as a landscape lens, and it definitely doesn’t have Zeiss’ or C/Y punch and in-your-face presence. The lens, thought re-designed and re-coated, still shows its similarities to 1950s classic with low contrast and gentler rendering. For that, it maybe preferred for specific applications like close-mid distance, wide open, moody shots. Nokton has clearly more similarities with Leica Summilux-M 50 than with most Zeiss lenses. Considering its compactness, low weight, speed it should be a great companion to your new Loxia 50. Heck, both Nokton and Loxia 50 are smaller and lighter than your MC Rokkor 58! And you know, you can’t get away with only one 50mm lens
