Great little lens the contax/zeiss lenses are a great addition to any mirrorless camera and provide fantastic image quality.
Excellent vintage lens great sharpness at step down aperture very natural color rendition
50mm f1.4 vs 50mm f1.7 I have used the 50mm f1.7 for 2 years but it was starting to fall apart and it was time for a new lens. After reading reviews I decided to take a chance on the pricier f1.4 and I'm very happy with the results.
