I've gathered that the consensus around the internet is that, aside from being faster, the 50mm Zeiss Jena f/1.5 Sonnar lens (for Contax rangefinders) yields better/sharper images than its 2.0 counterpart. My question to owners of both lenses is how pronounced is the difference to you? I would also appreciate it if someone could outline why the 1.5 Sonnar produces better images from a technical standpoint.
