The Canon 50mm shot I wasn't actually focusing on anything at all just put it to closest focus so that the background would be entirely out of focus.
Nice. I can't notice a magenta cast.

I know.. I've been working on trying to get the profile right in the camera. Which is why I originally wanted this set up or the 12mm. I've heard the 12mm has a little bit of distortion but that can be fixed.

everytime i see the g45 makes me want to buy one. I like the look of it. I might opt for a 35mm instead though because 45 is too close to 50mm I have already.

I see several ~50 mm lenses from Voightlander, Canon, Contax, Nikon, etc... and not much Zeiss 55 mm f1.8. Why is the reason? Does the other non natives lenses work better than the Zeiss 55 mm or you already have these so is not worth buying the Zeiss?
I have the A7 with LA-EA4 and several lenses for Sony alpha, including a Minolta 50 mm f1.7, but I'm considering buying the Zeiss 55 mm.
Thanks in advance.I've not kept track, but from following this thread since its infant stages, I get the feeling that quite a lot of a7(r) users own and use the 55 1.8. You'd probably be hard pressed to find a better lens (other than the Otus and possibly the new Sigma), if sharpness across the frame is your main concern.
That being said, a lot of folks don't like the by-wire manual focusing and some people are not fond of the bokeh. Many simply decided to use their existing lenses with adapters. Also many 20-50mm MF (and sometimes even AF) lenses from the makers you listed above are widely available on the second-hand market and more affordable than the 55 1.8, while still offering great bang for the buck. If you can afford it and don't mind the by-wire MF, I can only recommend the 55 1.8. It's a great lens.
While they probably don't do the lens justice, the following two shots were taken the 55 1.8. The first was at f2, the second at 2.8.

Well, I'm quite new in photography so I'm not really sure what I could obtain from diferent lenses. I mainly take pics at my study from the products I sell online (I use a Minolta 100mm macro f2.8 for this), but I'm trying to improve my skills taking pictures in travels, of my son, etc...
I also had a Sigma 50mm f1.4 but I found it too soft and the AF wasn't fast.
Your pics look amazing
Thanks for the praise. I still have ways to go as far as skills are concerned.
As others have suggested, if you want a jack of all trades kind of lens, the 55 1.8 is as good as they get. The other two candidates (the Otus and the new Sigma) may be even better, but their weight and size (even if we ignore the Otus' price tag for a second) would result in a system that is neither light nor small anymore.
Here is another one with the 55 at f2.
https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3737/13306947284_17198980ea_c.jpgOne Line 一線 by Alpha 2008, on FlickrThanks again.
I ordered the 55 f1.8 yesterday, I hope receiving it next week.
I'll read about the Sigma, but I had the 50mm f1.4 for A-mount and I wasn't impressed, maybe I had a bad copy.
Regards.
I hope you'll get a good copy of the 55 1.8 and like it. Be sure to post some pictures, once you have gotten hold of it.
Well, the new Sigma 50 1.4 Art is a new designed lens that is apparently superior to most other 50mm's on the market with the exception of the Otus and I'd guess, the Cron 50 AA. However, the Sigma is just a brick, not as heavy and large as the Otus, but still not your typical walk-around lens.

Was that taken in Nara?
Edit: Oops! Not in Nara, but Tochigi prefecture.
No problem. Admittedly, it really looks like a picture taken in Kyoto or Nara rather than Tochigi prefecture. The Toshogu Shrine in Nikko, Tochigi may be not as old as many temples in the ancient capitals, but it is still pretty impressive and certainly worth a visit.
Here are two from a recent visit to Kyoto. The first one with the 35 2.8 and the second one with the 55 1.8 stopped down to 5.6.

Thanks! Only thing you need to adapt your fine range of ZF's is an exact adapter.
