Decipher the "Sonnar looking image", if there's one.

kross · 20th April 2009

I'm considering the Zeiss ZM 50mm f1.5 Sonnar lens at the moment. (Zeiss or cv make sexy chrome lenses btw) Can anyone show me the sonnar look of this lens?

i can't figure out the sonnar look by looking at posts from flickr. Did I miss something?

if possible pls compare same scene taken with the ZM and a Nikkor-SC (sonnar clone), wide open. Thx.

I think it would be more accurate to compare "the sonnar look" with "the planar look" ...
