Less characteristics you wan to say ?

ah that's the one thanks bro sorry for the long threads that's how I can explain what I feel

U R one very artsy guy bro... The reason I bought the FE 55/1.8, it performs efficiently with AF for lazy, spontaneous shooting... Legacy lenses I used are mainly for arty farty drawing like the painting analogy you mentioned. Versatility is a good thing. I feel that FE 55/1.8 is one superb lens that is of a balanced rendering. Technically near perfection but as seen, doesnt appeal to classical shooters!

Yeah I like AF also bro sometimes you just want to point and shoot doesn't worry about focusing specially for folks like me who like candid shots . The FE 55mm is surely worthy of carrying the Zeiss Logo bro no doubt about it It is still in my buy list but for now waiting for the FE wide lens to come out.... if happen I will be in Osaka/Tokyo I will hunt for the FE wide...

PS. anyone know a good cam place in Osaka? Tokyo only place I know is Akihabara hehehe

Less three dimensional will be a more suitable description? Most modern lenses are sharp, design for good score on MTF chart but lost out because the image rendered can sometime be rather flat. Just speaking in a general term of course

Strangely, I dun find images from Summilux 35/1.4, 50/1.4 and Noctilux 50/0.95 ASPH lenses flat in any ways... LOL

That's because, contrary to popular belief, these lenses are all not sharp in the corners wide open. But in contrast to the old lenses, they have modern coatings, which eliminate a lot of other undesirable effects. The Zeiss 50/1.5 Sonnar ZM is something I'm familiar with an to me is an excellent balance because it's small and light like a Leica rangefinder lens, and has the bokeh and swirly effects yet doesn't cost and arm and a leg like a Leica lens.

The only proper test of the latest Summilux 50mm 1.4 I know of is from Imaging Resource test of the Leica M9. It's pretty clear from this test the lack of sharpness in the corners wide open and hence, they "character" of the lens.

I disagree with this. The FE lenses have truly excellent microcontrast and hence the images are more 3D. The less well corrected lenses have swirly bokeh and artifacts that add to their "character", but not the 3D look, which, to me, is related to microcontrast and sharpness. Photographs from the Otus looks outstandingly 3D, more so than any pictures I've seen. Check Ming Thien's blog for examples. These types of super sharp 3D photos at F1.4 simply cannot be produced from any other lens.

as I may add even some old lenses like Leica-R 50/2 E55 version versus the Leica-R 50/2 Series VII. If you ask me among the two I would choose the Series VII over the E55 hehehe I don't know why I like the rendering of the older cron-r 50 over the newer siblings...
