Sonnar beats Plannar beats Distagon.
But honestly, the DxOMarks are so close it's basically irrelevant.
Sonnar is winning in my mind solely because of weight and nothing else.
I mainly do architecture, landscape, and then portraits in low-light and close-ups under artificial light.
The Plannar looks to be insanely sharp... but again, for the extra 500gm carried around all day is that really that much of a difference?
