Ruben, The Planar IS the standard for fast lens design in the "normal" and short tele range. Zeiss makes lots of very fast Planars for a variety of cameras, most notably the recently defunct Kyocera/Contax line. The 85/1.4 and 85/1.2 Planars are legendary as are the 50/1.4 and 50/1.2. These are for 35mm cameras. In medium format Zeiss makes the formidable (in quality and size) 110/2 Planar for Rollei and Hasselblad cameras. Also don't forget the 80/2 Planar for the Contax 645.
