Perhaps a stupid question but how does the new Carl Zeiss sonnar 1.5/50 compare to the older Sonnars (Canon, Nikon and Zeiss contax) Is the image comparable with the classics?

Well, this might be a topic for a separate thread. The block diagram of the optical layout of the new lens is very similar to the old, but the entry aperture and and especially the exit aperture are larger on the new lens. The glass and coatings are about 50 years more modern than the Canon's.Perhaps a stupid question but how does the new Carl Zeiss sonnar 1.5/50 compare to the older Sonnars (Canon, Nikon and Zeiss contax) Is the image comparable with the classics?

No Sir!
It`s was done with Kodak CN400 finished in a unretouched "overlay" due to originally a dark scan.
Sadly 🙁 I haven`t used any XP2 for many years, (I used to use it often in the early 1990`s back in Germnay) the XP2 has a differnet tone and feel than the Kodak film does, but I do "trick" out the CN400 to make the photos look vintagey or artistic and somewhat similar.
I take my C-41 b&w work more to a true grey tone or slightly purpleish, as the CN400 done normally comes out more sepia looking.
I haven`t shot with my Canon f1.5 for a month or two, so next roll of Kodak Gold 100 that`s already loaded in my 45' IIIC K/IIIFBD will be shared with a 1957 Nikkor HC f2.0 as well, so I can get a feel for what that new lens will do, which some of you might remember I found it sitting on that really kool "numbers matching" Tower 35, late last year.....so shooting with that lens is long overdue! 🙂
