I have two 50mm lenses for my m3. This and a sonnar. They compliment each other well. This one is razor sharp. I use this one for anything except portraits.

Mine was a used copy in perfect condition as advertised. I have put it to work so far as a short portrait lens on my Sony NEX-7, with excellent results, and plan to use it soon as a walk around lens on a Sony full frame. This 50mm has the characteristic Zeiss richness of color and 3D rendering that I find magical. I also appreciate its small form factor, particularly when shooting candids and street photos. Manual focus engages you in the image in different ways than auto. And often it's faster. Try it, you won't miss the bulky autofocus lenses.

Use this lens on a Sony NEX-7 with outstanding results. Built like a tank, silky-smooth bokeh, sharp as a tack. I've owned 3 Zeiss lenses and they consistently produce the images I find most appealing.

This lens is excellent. Sharp, contrasty, clean. I have 2 vintage Rolleis with zeiss glass. I use this on an M6 and M-E.

My first lens for a Leica M9 and I was asstounded by the contrast and the saturation of colours using this lens. I used this lens until I bought a 35mm summicron then moved back to the 50mm Zeiss Zm as the color and 3d pop to photos was much better with the Zeiss. The only real complaint is that the lens cap is very poorly designed. The Knurl on the tabs goes the "wrong way" so you drop it almost every time you try to put it on the lens after use. A minor complaint is that the filter size is non standard. I wish every Leica lens was as good as this beauty which considering is a bargin.

This is an amazing little gem. This lens is lightweight, super sharp, built well, focuses well, and flare proof. This is the most often used lens on my Zeiss Ikon. I haven't realized how good this lens was until I used my Nikon 50mm f/1.8 on my D90. The Zeiss made the Nikon look like a toy. It was blurry, compared to the Zeiss, and had tons of internal reflections which really degraded the photos. If you have an M mount camera, then you deserve to own this lens. At its low price do yourself a favor and order one now.

I got this lens for my Leica M6 because I've had a version of this lens for all my other cameras, Contax RTS3, Contax G2, Hassy 500cm, and my Nikon D300. This lens style (50mm planar T) has never failed me. I sell Nikon camera and lens for a living, and I am a closet Zeiss shooter.
