Curiously I have a Canon 50mm f/1.2L USM at work and a old Zeiss f/1.4 Planar T* — a Contax lwnse with a cheap EF adapter — and the old Zeiss lens knocked the new lense out of the park on anything. Pictures looked just better on it period.

The old lense has no AF, but I rarely use AF anyways.

I am a fan of this lens

and it’s APS-C counterpart. Personally I have had times I was walking around with a 50mm and not being able to frame anything up but between the extreme bokeh and ability to laugh at low light conditions I have so much fun. for certain kinds of pics the manual focus is fun and easy and with the aperture wide open nobody is going to mistake your pics for smartphone snaps.

I wondered about these too, thanks for the reminder.
