I have updated my 50mm test now to include the Contax Planar T 50mm f1.4. The nice guys at Aperture, London shaved off my offending 'shark fin' so it clears the 5D II mirror now. Whilst there I saw a quality Nikon to Canon EOS adapter which I have been looking for to fit a Nikon fit Zeiss 25mm lens I ordered. I could not resist picking up a nice little Nikon 50mm f1.4 AI from the 1970s, it was so inexpensive, and so that has been added to the test.

 

I've updated the reviews, but basically the Contax did very well outperforming all the other lenses in my opinion.

The Leica and Olympus came close to it

The Canon and Nikon were next

and the Yashica at the bottom

 

(The Leica by the way is the 50mm Summicron f2, I don't own a Summilux so could not compare that).

 

Here is the link to the updated test
