While I really like the Fuji 35mm f1.4, I was always a disappointed by its performance at wide apertures. Stepping down to f2.8 or f4 gives really sharp pictures from corner to corner but it appears the Zeiss gets similar results from f1.8. However, the Bokeh is, IMHO, nicer with the Fuji (thanks to admiringlight for that one).
If I had to do it again, and if the prices were equal, I would probably go for the Zeiss, though the decision would be hard. That said, I've moved on from the 50mm to the 35mm equivalents with the Fuji 23mm f1.4 which is great wide open.
In any case, thank you for the review.
