These thoughts came into my mind when I tried to find a good in-production MF lens of 50mm for street candid photography. After some search I only find the Zeiss 50mm F1.4 ZF has the features that I need: good MF ring, good distance scale (presumably precise enough), good DoF marks (presumably precise enough). Of course Leica (and Voigtlander lenses for Leica) are a lot better designed but i cannot suffer the Leica system.
