This looks like Alyssa Milano 25 years ago! I love the way the new ZA 50mm looks, and the fact it is SSM, however I like my Sony 50/1.4 because its very small, Image rendering wise I don't know. I watched some reviews and the reviewers say the Zeiss is better but for me it inconclusive. I want to see more images like this, portraits taken between f1.4 and f2.2 that's how I shoot my Sony 50mm: http://www.flickr.com/photos/theprevia/9512623507/in/photostream/
