Verdict
Pick the Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f/1.2 if you prioritize a brighter maximum aperture for low-light shooting and shallower depth of field. The Zeiss C Sonnar 50mm f/1.5 stays the better choice if you prefer a slightly more compact design or are content with a half-stop slower aperture at the same price. Both lenses deliver identical focal length and mount compatibility, leaving aperture and personal handling preference as the deciding factors.
