Ideal standard lens?

I'm a bit torn between two that I've been using. The sharper and slightly wider of the two is the Contax G Biogon, but I also have a CV 35mm Skopar that is a better fit for the NEX (i.e., it's smaller) and does a very nice job. A few examples of the latter are attached. Anyone else using a Skopar? How about another tiny lens?

 

Yep, that's the one. It isn't a large lens itself, but you need a much larger adapter to make it work (I have the Metabones one). I've tried the Biogon and the 45mm Planar on NEX, and both are very sharp. The latter is my favorite lens for quick portraits. I don't have the Contax 35mm.

 

Already have, Travis, and I still can't decide. The Biogon is definitely sharper, but is less straightforward to use than the Skopar given its funky focussing mechanism.

No crisis here; I use the Biogon with my G1 and the Skopar with my Canon P, so they aren't going anywhere. I would be interested to see examples from other lenses. Do you have any from your Ultron? I had the 1:1.9 Ultron once upon a time, but sold it before the NEX came out.

 

Nice shots, Travis.

The Planar works fine, but 45mm is too long on the NEX sensor as a standard lens. Same goes for my Canon 1:1.4 50mm Planar. The Biogon is about the right focal length, but focusing the G series is finicky. I think it's a bit sharper than the Skopar, though. Hence the dilemma: better handling vs. better sharpness.
