Snowboarder -- beautiful shots. I have to know, are the sunset seascapes close to being "out of the camera" or have you done substantial post-processing?

Lots of nice pictures.It seems the new Zeiss works very good when you stop down,but how does it perform at f 2,8. are there soft corners at f 2.8? I am shooting northern lights including landscapes.Shooting with canon 5d. And yes,i know i am looking for the holy grail :-)

It's amazingly sharp at f2.8.
I've posted some test shots, here you have it + a center and a corner crop.
If there is any softness, it's simple a shallow depth of field...

To be honest, it is super sharp, but it does vignette in the corners wide open. At least mine does

How bad is vign ..1-2 stop? In night scenes it isn't very important i guess.

I would say, no less than one stop, certainly less than two. It disappears at f:3.5

Very nice snowboarder!

I was in my local store the other day to look for the eos version. They only had the nikon one at the moment but man it felt good. A true joy to use. Very very well made...

Here is the sort of sunset one can get in the Paris region in November, Snowboarder. I am afraid it can hardly compare with yours...:-(
