so what caught your eye that the 'ol gal didn't have - was the Zony looking like she put on a few pounds when the C-Sonnar walked in the door?
the 2 lenses couldn't be more different.

Unlist that lens, Guy. You love it. You'll lose money by selling and buying back. Everyone needs a technically great 50! You'll find the bucks for the c-sonnar eventually!

Too late sold and bought a brand new Sonnar. I'm really not the biggest 50 guy to begin with. Lovely lovely lens no doubt about it but I bought this for people stuff. I have 50 covered with my 24-70 2.8 for work gigs . This Sonnar is for my fun work and art. Now I have a 5 lens travel kit to beat the band. Vc15,Loxia 21 and ZM 351.4,50 1.5 and my 85 F4 and it's a really small kit. If I need 24,28 and 50 for landscape I got that in the zoom. Honestly I would not done any of this ZM stuff without the use of the TAP that changed everything for me. I got real AF/MF combo in these ZM
Btw I changed my C keys C1 is magnify. C2 is AF/MF toggle that's works awesome. Than left dial is focus settings which I can toggle around to different AF than center dial punch locks it in. It's fast as heck like this. I know it all sounds crazy but I'm a Zeiss man at heart and I love real manual focus lenses and now I get AF with them

not to mention that i think that the FE 50/1.4 actually does have quite a lot of "character" for being so "technically perfect"

I was going to post a poll, asking whether or not Guy should sell the Sony 50/1.4 GM. But when I checked, the lens had already gone (3 hours and 8 minutes after being listed).
I have all these lenses that I know I should sell but somehow I can't bring myself to pull the trigger. Might be time to engage Guy as a consultant!

well this is a tough one - i've even done something i swore i'd never do: give DigLLoyd more money !! but he does have a very extensive amount of commentary on the M-mount (both Leica and Zeiss lenses) and this whole TAP thing has me a bit more than curious !!
frankly, a ZM 35/1.4 (nearly perfect) and the C-Sonnar 50 (character w/ issues) would fit me quite well b/c 35 is more my lens cap and the ZM 50/1.5 could be fun.......

I guess it makes sense for you; if the GM zoom is as good as a prime stopped down that covers you for landscape and work. And wider aperture 50 stuff is mostly people which is where the c-sonnar excels and where you might use it ahead of the 1.4/50 anyway. And for people purposes the smallness of it is not only convenient, but also less intimidating..

Man that C Sonnar looks small ! No wonder people think the FE 50 F1.4 is gigantic.

So Guy, you're rolling with the ZM 85 F4 on the long end, and Fred is using the Leica 90 2.5. Reasons you prefer the ZM (other than being a Zeiss man at heart)?
