Hello!
I took some boring comparison shots with my new Planar and fairly new favorite Takumar at f1.4 and f2.
They produce remarkably equally images, contrast, sharpness and colors are identical.
Takumar have better sharpness a bit from the center at f1.4 and Zeiss have little colder and more right whiteness of the images,Otherwise it could be the same lens.....both are among the best of course
It remains to see how the Zeiss performs when I try to take "real" pictures with it but right now it does not provide the same wow that I got with the Planar 50mm F1.7 I owned a few years ago.
What are your experiences with these two, I have owned three S-M-C Takumars and they were equivalent is my Zeiss a Lemon or is the Takumar underestimated (it's much better than I had expected I previously owned Pentax M 50, A50 and FA50 and the Takumar have better contrast at f1.4 than these.)
