Crazy about the Planar 50mm - pics thread

In case I do get close enough the Planar is my most used lens:

While I am still jazzed about my 50 Sonnar, I am enjoying this thread inspired by the Planar.

Helen all of these (need for edit notwithstanding:) look great! I guess I agree the edit helps but my eye was immediately drawn to the two anyway fwiw.

Klaus, It is great to see Chick and co. as you've captured them here and I am particularly drawn to the light you've captured on that last image of the table and chairs under globe lights.

John, your image of figures in the sand is a striking and a very classic look. I like this one.

Hi Helen,
it looks like you changed the picture in the post? Although the pervious one looked partly blurry, I liked it better than the one that you show now;)
 
Does anyone know why the design choices between the 50/1.4 (SLR) Planar and 50/2 (RF) Planar were so different? The 50/2 seems to have been designed with pure performance in mind, where as the 50/1.4 seems to be more about general aesthetic rendering. They're both beauties IMO, but I do wonder why they're so different...

I think it's because the SLR lens has to sit so far from the film plane... the optical arrangement has to be adjusted for this.
 
The planar captures more than I realize at time of shooting ... in the left section of the large globe there is the Rockefeller Center building (entire height) and the "tiny" X-mas tree infront of it. I only saw this on my monitor at home.
