I used to have planar 50, had to go because of updates and sicerely the sigma 50 is just as good and even better with its big glass when it comes to saturation and bokeh...

mattia Senior Member 528 posts Likes: 2 Joined Feb 2009 More info | Mar 16, 2009 01:49 | #7 I've got some old Contax Zeiss glass (50/1.4 and a 35/2.8) with adapters which I really enjoy shooting with quite a lot. So much so - in terms of colour, microcontrast, etc. - that I'm semi-seriously considering having a Contax N 24-85 converted to EOS, just so I can have full USM-style AF-ness and lovely Zeiss colours. 5DII | 300D | 30D IR | 17-40L | 24-105L IS | 70-200/2.8L IS | 100-400L IS | 15 FE | 35L | 50/1.8 mk I | 135L | Sigmalux 50/1.4 | Sigma 105/F2.8 Macro | C/Y Planar 50/1.4 | C/Y Distagon 35/2.8

The copy I tried was relatively soft wide open, and while it had much better bokeh than the Contax version of the lens, the sharpness was way behind. Maybe it was just a bad copy, but it wasn't impressive. Jordan Steele - http://www.jsteelephotos.com
