The late 50/1.4 is sharper than the silver nose 50/1.4 at wide open
especially at closer distance like portrait. The 90/2 is completely
different from the 50/2, it has not too high contrast, softer wide
open and f2.8 good for portrait, further stop down is very sharp, the
color rendering of 90/2 is also better (creamy and saturated), could
be the best among all Zuikos.
