With an weight of 518 gr. and an 72mm filter size, the lens seems to be a real professional glass! I personal prefer heavy and solid metal glasses instead of plastic lens housings.

I have translated the page and added it to the library of MTF charts here on ZI. You can view it from here http://www.zeissimages.com/mtf.php

Greetings,
at least there is MTF and lens cross-section, maybe You would be interested:

IMHO lens construction looks very innovative but the general concept of Planar's construction is preserved. MTF shows it's nature. Performance is quite well distributed across full frame. MTF chart is simmilar to MTF of current Distagon 1.4/35 ZF.2/ZE. I am currious if it shows longitudinal chromatic aberrations like other older Planar 50mm f/1.4 from ZF.2/ZE line. I wish see as it works (in practice). Best regards, WZ.

Greetings Carol..I believe that there wouldn't be quick release of new Planar in ZF/ZE mount. There was some lens from ZA lenses line which inspirited designers of ZF/ZE lenses line like: Distagon 2/24 ZA --> Distagon 2/25 ZF/ZE, Sonnar 1.8/135 ZA --> ApoSonnar 2/135 ZF/ZE. But all times lens formula was designed from a scratch anyway. I believe that Planar 1.4/50 ZF/ZE succesor would be Distagon 1.4/55 ZF/ZE, but if the customers accept new Planar ZA warmly - maybe something would change... Best regards, WZ.

I wish to see spec like lens schema (cross-section) and MTF for this lens. Today announcement hasn't brought anything new except some of marketing hay, which has been rummored for a long time.

Best regards, WZ.

The new lens is sealed, and contains 8 elements in 5 groups, with 2 aspherical lenses. Weight for an standard lens, with 518 gr. quiet heavy! Solid stuff!
