If you frequently use F2 to F2.8 then the current ASPH lens would be my choice(or the 1.4 used) as they are very sharp even wide open. If however, you usually use a lens at F4 to F8 then either version 4 or the new Zeiss offering would be my choice as they are somewhat less expensive and will have a somewhat more pleasing background. By f4 the version 4 lens is almost as good as the current version so why spend the money?
