I've done lens tests, but I haven't actually shot.
I used Fuji Provia 100F for the tests.

The 50mm F1.4 manual focus is an extroardinary lens. It may well be as good
as the best Zeiss lenses.
50mm F2.8 macro -- sharp at F5.6, but the F1.4 normal beats it at wider
apertures
35mm F1.4 -- very good from F2.8 on, but not as good as the stellar 50mm
F1.4
24mm F2 - soft wide open, very good at F2.8 & above
20mm F2.8 AF -- my sample does not perform well, but the reputation is
generally good.
18mm F2.8  AF  -- requires F5.6. Contrast too low at wider apps
14mm F2.8  AF -- requires F5.6  Ditto
85mm F1.4 -- very good at F2.8 about like the 35mm F1.4
105mm f1.4 -- very good at F2.8, about like the 35mm F1.4
