I agree with @ecarlino@ that the Zeiss 50/1.4 ZA has a very special rendering. The focus transition zone is smooth and the lens draws bold colors and very high micro-contrast. It's is also very well corrected for aberrations.. IMO, from the native lenses, it's the one with the most pop.
Like the 55/1.8 it's sharp across the field even at wider apertures.
the reason is (re)posted was to remind myself, and maybe the 1 other person who may care :-) that despite all the talk about the sharpness of this lens (or others), it actually can be quite 'graceful' as well. the 55/1.8 just seemed harsh in the OOF areas, etc.
