The old 50mm f/1.4:

New one is totally different. 13/8 elements/groups of which one aspherical and 3 SLD, compared to 8/6 with one aspherical on the old one. As such it gains over 30mm in length at approximately the same diameter, but has managed to take a slight diet from 505g to 470g. No MTF chart that I can see yet.
As much as I like the Zeiss 2/50 makro, I do wish for AF at times and still looking for something to fill that hole. Could this be it?
Edit: Spinifex got there quicker than I did I did dare to compare it to the Zeiss Otus while I was at it...
