Verdict
Pick the Irix Dragonfly 150mm if you need a longer reach for telephoto or macro work at a fast f/2.8 aperture. The Zeiss Makro-Planar 50mm stays the better choice if you prioritize a brighter f/2 maximum aperture, a more versatile standard focal length, or slightly shallower depth of field for close-up subjects. Budget is nearly identical, so decide based on focal length needs.
