I will look into the zeiss lenses. i've heard good things about the 35 1.4.
The seller told me it was checked in Berlin and it didnt need the sensor replacement. I will contact them in Cyprus to have it checked again sometime. Its a good thing it is not changed yet and i helped my decision to get it.

The Zeiss 50/1.4 is one of the cheaper fast 50's. It suffers from focus shift when you stop it down to 5.6 on an M though. OK once you get used to adjusting for it. Very nice lens for portraits.
The Zeiss 50/2 is a great lens, no focus shift and small, you can get them second hand for around £400.
Congrats on the M9, if it's not had the sensor replaced yet then have a look at the status of the replacement program. I'm pretty sure they are going to cover them for life but it's worth checking.
