To my Guide to Zeiss ZF / ZE Lenses, I’ve added a 3rd comparison between the Zeiss 50mm f/2 Makro-Planar and the 50mm f/1.4 Planar, this one at closer range. I explore the very substantial field curvature differences between the two lenses on a subject that shows it clearly.

I still have another comparison coming, this one with the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G thrown in for good measure, and on a different subject.
