I know this seems a random comment, but quite appropriate nevertheless: Great pictures on the previous page!
Nice coolness Jako, great stitch Sebboh, your daughter has a good eye Membler, great composition René, interesting how the fire truck gets by unnoticed due to the high impact of that yellow fantasy vehicle, nice intensity Marek...
That 24-240 seems useful eBookman, as does the ZM35/1.4...
Playing around with Photoshop. I don't do this very often, but this picture just asks for it. Inverted colours makes its impact much more dramatic, I think.

I was not going to get any lenses in 2015, but had a weak moment and got the Loxia 2/50. Excuse for myself; shooting season haven't yet started, still time to fiddle with equipment, who cares about calendar years
Small comparison to Contax G45 from my viewpoint, which may differ quite a lot from average "sharpness is everything"-shooter.
+ boke highlights have even light distribution even wide open (G45 f/2-2.5 has light concentrated too much to circle's edges for me)
+ boke highlights when closed down are round due to rounded 9 blade aperture (G45 6 blade = hecaconal highlights)
+ focuses closer and performs better at close distances
+ better focus helicoid/feeling than with any other normal lens I have been shooting with; light to turn, but I don't accidentally nudge focus off (not much competition here...)
+ EXIF (lens & aperture) is saved to files
+ on focus plane; better extreme corners
= boke contrast compared to focus plane is low (similar to G45)
= based on first ~100 photos it seems both have similar (=mild) field curvature and no focus shift (I did minimal number of infinity shooting were field curvature is usually more problematic)
= no visible CA (magenta/green on contrast edges)
= no boke CA (based on shooting this far, but it might be too early to say)
- at large focus distances boke in corners starts to get smaller only after f/4 (before that corners only get brighter - with G45 this happens little earlier around ~f/3.2)
- lens has tendency to double boke (G45 also does this, but not at this magnitude)
- on focus plane G45 offers more contrast from microcontrast to macro contrast on any size detail f/2.8-11, photos "pop" more (G45 is the best normal lens on this respect I have ever shoot with, Loxia 50 close second way before SLR planars)
- lens is more prone to flare than G45 (with any standard adapter G45 flares more, but if you have flocked it properly it's superior)
Links to MTFs: Loxia 2/50 G45
I'm typically little "shy" shooting lenses wide open due to boke quality issues, but this might be second lens (1st = APO-Sonnar 135), which I can shoot wide open assuming scene allows larger boke in corners than in center and focus plane survives without additional contrast gained by stopping down to f/2.8. EDIT: after lots of shooting, both APO-Sonnar and Loxia 50 like more f/2.5-3.2 than wide open - also while writing this I forgot only lens, which I have no isses shooting wide open: C/Y Sonnar 3.5/100.
It's too early to make final evaluation, if I'm still posting Loxia photos on fall 2015 then it's indication I like this more than G45...
Double boke example - f/2:
Double boke/restless boke example - f/2 (link to f/4 version where boke is very good - boat is also "more present" to my eye)
Strong vignetting can be used to hide large corner boke as well - f/2:
Boke highlights (top right corner) have very even light distribution inside them - f/2:
Example of boke not changing in corners, just brightness - f/4 shown below, links to open to tabs for comparison: f/2.0 f/2.8 f/4
