In real world we would not be cropping to match another shot. More about the look of the file

Looking at the images as posted on my 27" older iMac .. the first picture has slightly more contrast, color and sharpness in the Artist Den sign so I thought it might be the Sony ... nothing else is obvious to me.
You may have tempted me to sell your/my Loxia ....same filter size so I can still use my BT CP

I do like this little CV 21. I have a lot of shots today with it. I only used the Sony a couple times. Really not the lens I would take out like this. I did shoot it in manual focus. My hardest part is really the 35 and 50 they look very similar and that may not be great as there close together. I’ve shot a few series together so will see

Another with the 21 and 24 . My framing is off i moved a little too close with the 21mm. I was not on a tripod and it was cold as heck for me at least. 
But again very similar. Im keeping both these lenses but like to know how close they are. Im also off 1/3rd of a stop.

I moved back with the 24mm to pretty much match

CV21 -vs- 24/1.4. Yep, there were certan tells in there. But easy to make a fool of anyone who was not there or did not know the processing path taken. The Sony is a fast lens that does better at f5.6 than the CV does at f1.4-f2.8. Don't need the speed?
CV all the way, images are more accomplished, color is the stand out. Sony blues tend to cyan and have weaker saturation. Earth tones are another CV/Zeiss pointer. Chinese and Japanese idealised version of reds are horrible, weak and crimsony. CV's long collaboration with Zeiss might have helped them. I look for these first because all modern lenses are very good IQ at middle apertures. 21mm gives a more dramatic front-rear rendering. Have to really watch over-exposure on Sony lenses because of their color profile, and get it right in post. Thanks as always!

I do like the CV skies much better and just seems to have more depth to it

That overall speaks volumes on CV lenses with color and saturation

CV 35. FYI all im doing is adjusting exposure as needed. I did no special Guy sauce here
