Verdict
Pick the Z 50mm f/1.4 if you need the brighter f/1.4 aperture for shallower depth of field or lower-light shooting and the 60 EUR premium fits your budget. The Z 50mm f/1.8 S stays the better choice if you prioritize saving money while still getting excellent sharpness and a slightly lighter build.
