Indeed both are top of the class lenses, no doubt about that.I prefer the range of tones and the bokeh in the right hand one, Stefan. The depth of field seems deep inn the left one. Both more than acceptable, though.
The left one is focussed a bit closer that's why it has deeper DOF.
As for the score, most know what the Pentax is

Neither did I, they are both stunning lenses.I actually have not got a clue.
It's good to see though that the 18 year old Pentax can keep it up with the quite new Carl Zeiss

What amazes me is that during that era Pentax sold all of their cameras with a stunning 50mm lens attached. Yes they made faster versions but if you bought your ME Super with the 50mm f1.7 then you had one of the finest photographic tools ever made, enabling you to match any photographer once you developed the skill to use it. Even now that lens will stand comparison to any 50mm prime. I should know, I've got three of them (two Ms and an A)!
I'm just amazed that the marketing department let them get away with it, as it must have been terrible if you think in the modern terms of selling the widget and then making more money from selling bits to improve it!

difficult to really compare because of the focus point. I prefer ths one on the right though. Does the K10D do any automatic in-camera thingies (ie like CA reduction) that it doesn't do for the Planar?
... just another middle-aged guy with a hobby. I have an extreme macro learning site at extreme-macro.co.uk - Pentax-centric, your feedback and comments would be appreciated!

This proves that all this so-called lens testing is an utter waste of time.
