Staking the claim as the reference 50mm, the Summilux-SL 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. Lens from Leica promises to create phenomenal images with edge-to-edge sharpness, even wide open. Designed for Leica's full-frame SL-series of mirrorless cameras, this 50mm benefits from a new design granted by the short flange distance. It also leverages two aspherical elements and four anomalous partial dispersion elements in order to keep aberrations to an absolute minimum. The fast maximum aperture of f/1.4 furthers your imaging capabilities by creating images with a shallow depth of field and in low-light conditions.

A couple of reviewers have said this is the best 50mm lens, and they have named Sony, Canon and Nikon. My question is, does that include the Sony 50/1.2 GM lens? Has anyone compared this Leica 50/1.4 with the Sony 50/1.2 GM on either an A7R-IV or A1?
That was not my question! I asked how the image quality compares between a Leica SL2 + this 50mm Summilux vs. Sony A1 (or A7R IV) + 50mm f/1.2 GM.

So aside from the f-stop and the weight, what is the difference in IQ or whatever between this
50/1.4 and the other Leica 50/2?
The one-stop difference in aperture is the biggest difference; optically they are very similar, but not identical, with a similar number of aspherical surfaces and anomalous partial dispersion elements, and similar multi-coating. The 50mm f/2 lens also has a dual synchro drive stepping AF motor.

question
Why is it so expensive? What is the diference between a Zeiss 50mm 1.4 or a Canon fD 50mm 1.4 or Sigma 50mm 1.4? Why should I buy this lens? Thank you, Im asking with honesty.
To me it's better than all the lenses you mentioned. But, the only reason it';s as expensive as it is, is that it's a Leica and made to a different set of standards.
