My Sony Zeiss 50mm f1.4 looks better (at f1.4)...

Otherwise I like the first pictures very much.
We will see, I doubt it. We have field curvature to consider, too. The 50/1.4 has a significant midzone dip, shown by DPreview in their review and lensrentals optical bench measurements.
For me at f1.2/f1.4 I would like to have the inner 2/3rds of the image circle to be sharp and dont care about the very corners at all!





.




I agree, with a lens like this, the edge resolution is not that important, even if I like to photograph landscapes with an open aperture because of the look.
Maybe / probably Lenstip received a weaker copy.
(According to their samples, my Sony Zeiss is at least equivalent to the f1.4 in the midzone. In the center, the GM is even better than the GM. Here is a picture, if you are interested, you can show me the horrible midzone dip: https://www.flickr.com/photos/helmhagen/50907551708/in/dateposted-public/ and that is quick and sloppy manually focused by hand while skiing, so it is possible to get even sharper results at f1.4.)
