How is the ZM 50 F1.5 @ F2 compared to the ZM 50 F2 wide open?
If it is on par, I might trade up, sell my 50/2.
I have the ZM 50 F1.5, and it is currently my most used lens. However, I have given some thought to buying the Planar in addition to the Sonnar. Regardless of whether it is optimized for 1.5 or 2.8 there are focus shift issues somewhere along the aperture continuum. And I think the look of the sonnar stopped down and is not, for better or worse, the same as a non-sonnar lens. That is, from what I've seen from pictures posted, the Planar generally gives a more modern look.
I'd like to hear from people who have and use both. Or people who did, but gave up the Planar and just kept the Sonnar.
