Thanks, that's a good comparison. I'm more inclined to prefer the FE 55 there though, not a fan of the contrasty OOF areas, those are the areas that give me pause on my B&W conversions. I have become accustomed to the look of the older (read: flatter) lens formulations though.
Are you planning on looking at the new Nikkor 105/1.4, that one has me intrigued, not sure it'll even operate on anything other than a modern Nikon (I don't adapt glass [yet ]..........
Yes, I much prefer the 55/1.8 for these type of shots and that's why I only use the Loxia 50/2 for landscapes where the extra contrast, deeper colors and nicer sunstar rendering play in its favor.
The 55/1.8 only needs a small boost in contrast in post processing.
Look at the difference in bokeh blur between the 55/1.8 and L50/2 (same f/2 aperture focused at the exact same location). It's very dramatic and I wonder how the new 50/1.4ZA fairs here.
PS: Keep in mind we are comparing 50mm to 55mm which is not apples to apples.
