    At 35mm and 21mm the Zeiss wins hands-down for me.
    I have never used manual focusing till now, is it easy or does it needs to be mastered before getting zeiss?

    Zeiss has a fairly long focus throw, so they are relatively easy to manual focus.
    Back focus with 50/1.2 is not an issue if further than a metre away, I have never shot closer than that with it.
    These 5 are all great lenses with superior IQ. The two (2) Zeiss are MF and very different and both very good.
    Because I have a few 77mm filters and you would also have a few already owning the 24mm, the Sigma offers great IQ and the same filter size and is probably best value for money for you.
