The Sonnar is a very nice lens, but actually the humble canon 50 1.4 is OK too. Just an ebay ad shot, but the transition to oof struck me as nice in this one.

I have the 50 1.8. Not as good but nice for the money.

That's a pretty cool fade out Mike.
As a side note, I rarely venture beyond f4 with the m mounts. The sonnar after f5.6 has enough dof
to cover up for any focus shifts. I have the planar too ( ! ) and it is a pair of scissors. If you get used
to the sonnar, doubt you would use the planar. more contrasty than the sonnar. I feel it is a little big
for f2 on an m.
Try a hexanon 50/1.2...beautiful lens with a rendering to die for.
Regards.

Esp. for Rachel and Mike
When I took this shot, I was thinking about our discussions re: the oof areas. here the m sonnar 1.5
performs admirably in difficult lighting and a hastily take snap.
Regards.
