Damn, that's a great title, I'm using it!

Took my tiny NEX-5N with Contax Zeiss 45mm F2 out for a walk today.

Usually HATE flower shots but I liked these two

The bicycle shot and the second bench shot are my favorites from this batch. Very nice.

I was mainly shooting the type of holiday photos that you don't want to post. But I may find some more abstract images from an old ferry and some portraits.
I have been in Greece and this island so often that my inspiration is close to zero there

Carsten - The 18 shot stitch of shrub is very attractive. There is the sense of infinite detail in this shot, but not 'in your face' kind of way. Tempelhof buildings pano is more 'conventional', but I like it. The other favorite was the kite shot. Wonderful sense of space in that shot.

FlyPenFly - Gtreat shot of Central Park pond. I too like the bicycle and bench shot, and I also really liked the doorway shot. Very nice B/W work.

Nice Akul..I like your shots taken with your CY...the bridge shot is fantastic!! do you have a BW version??
2 things...
1st. The CY I just got I'm am selling..I like it, but too many 50's at the moment, although looking at your shots make me kinda want to keep it!!
2nd. How the heck do you enable showing more than 4 photos at a time during a post?? I see you have 6...am I missing something??!!

@Gregg: You don't have to use the image upload function. You can simply use the direct URL to pictures from flickr, picasa, photobucket etc. (akul uses zeissimages.com) and paste it in your post -- then you can have as many pictures in your post as you want. You will not get the EXIF data though so you'll have to type that manually if you want to include that in your post.

FlyPenFLy- Thanks. They were from a trail along upper Delaware river.

Greggf - Thank you. I have not done B/W on that bridge shot yet, but thank you for the suggestion. Regarding your CY, if you have room, why not keep it? There may be time you find its beauty. I myself have not sold any lenses so far, so I am of course biased

For the question #2, I see AhamB already have answered.

Luka, the bridge shot and the last tree shot show the 50/1.4's unique ability to better isolate the subject from the background in a 3-d manner with volume.

Wayne - Thanks for the comment. I agree that 50 1.4 has a very unique and strong ability to render space and volume. That was always what I was drawn to about planar 50, but because I had CY50 1.4 sitting in my drawer from film days, I held off buying the Z series version. To be honest though, I did not shoot this lens enough on film to really learn how it behaved. Now I finally converted it with Leitax, I am happy to confirm what I was seeing from our fellow members do exist on CY planar as well.

By the way, due to the FOV, it may be slightly less, but I feel I witness the very similar quality from 85 1.4 shots.

Again, Akul, fantastic images! Ok, so I might take your advice and keep it for a bit(CY 50). The only problem is my wife hounding me because I have too many lenses!! Go figure!!

and with number 2 due any day now, she's getting tired of my camera gear all over!! she tells me..."I going to take you camera sh** and throw it away!"...of course she's just kidding, but you don't mess with mama bear!! if you know what I mean!!

Gregg, what I did recently is to put all my gear in photo bags. One bag per kit. Then I stuffed them all in my wardrobe. Now they are out of sight, except for my Nikon kit.
