I thought to shed a little light on my observations about the performance difference between the 5cm 1.4 S.C and the 50mm 1.4 S.C.

Great comparison. Must be what is referred to as character in many instances. Right circumstances for the right lens would apply, though I usually just have one lens of a particular focal length with me, and the shot is taken with whatever is available. Nice demo Rafael, thanks.

That character is what frustrates me with the RF 5cm, it is almost a throw of the dice, some photos have a wow factor from the lens rendering while others are outright ugly.

The F 50mm are more predictable, they are all good and relatively well behaved. (and inexpensive used)

Fee obligated to post samples of the 50mm 1.4 F fully open.
