Both can be equally great , Zeiss will better in crap light provide more contrast, both will be equally sharp stopped down, Nikon at 1.2 have amazing bokeh.

Have you searched for samples? I use the Planar 50/1.4 as my main lens. I have the older Nikkor 55/1.2 which has less contrast and glows at larger apertures. Looks impressive on the camera though!

The planar is the standart of the very good 1,4/50 mm lens.
It's difficult to find any bad thing about it.
About the nikkor 1,2 lens, I had it and is good. My Minolta 1,2/58 is better to me.
Planar wins. |

I'm starting to lean toward the Contax cause it should have more value as times goes on. The nikkor is still made new so its value will stay the same. Also the Contax focus the "right" direction
