Yes, I owned both lenses for a long time, because they were so shockingly different in their characteristics. I still own a 50 Planar, but not the Makro-Planar. I am considering getting it again
The two photos were either both wide open, or both at f/2.0, I don't recall which. Shooting both at f/2.0, the Makro-Planar always had more depth of field, much more.
