I did not personally try the new ZF2 35/1.4 yet and so far all the shots I have seen do not scream better than the ZF2 35/2 @ f2.
Maybe the amount of experience on the 35/2 is still higher hence higher shot quality v the 35/1.4 which is still on lower ownership levels?
I am not asking which is better, but it will be helpful if someone can summarize the "differences" between the f1.4 and f2. Notwithstanding the aperture difference.
bpark42 - Hey, love that bed shot. Can't imagine sleeping on that though. Nice color and bokeh on tulips
Dalmas - When it comes to concrete, I have such a weakness. I just love the tactility of well casted concrete. I like the fist two shots for texture, third for composition
James - Quite impressive for handheld.
FlyPenFly - Congrats on the 35 and 28. I am looking forward to see what you do with them. Regarding the sigma shot, and 3D. I am not quite sure I see what you see. What I see is that color is popping sort of iredescent manner, due to juxtaposition of color in front of yellow cabs, but 3D, I am not sure I see it. I am curious to hear what you will find from using Zeiss and the difference.
te4o - Amazing stuff. Those tree barks are great. Stunning detail. B/W shot almost look like a drawing.
Carstenw: Like the desaturated colors and the shadows/highlights of the bedroom shoot.
James: Lovely composition and rendering in your flower shoots. Really shows the nice transition between sharp and unsharp with the 100MP.
I got my 35/1.4 ZF.2 yesterday. These are two of my first shots.
Bokeh is even above expectations even with focus a few meters away (and I had fairly high expectations). I find it the focusing really hard at distances longer than 2-3m. I hope to take some more pics during the weekend. The lens is a pure joy to use despite being hard to focus!
James, very nice shots from the 100MP
manu: nice shots and also nice text [tasteful font used there]. Hope you enjoy the 21 when you get it
te40: very good shots. Liked the first set and #2 and #4 from the last set.
Lars: cool shots from Chinatown. Love the shots of the chillis
akul: pano experiment: first one is very nice! I guessed the second one was in the East coast [but wasn't sure and I didn't look it up for more info]. Was there last fall [close to peak] - beautiful place!

Thanks all,
Brandon, I find your "Inspiring Pulpit" magnificent! Good eyes & steady hands!
Some glimpses into my neighbourhood:
Paper Barks [email protected] (here i noticed that on an old 1.6 crop like the 40D there's barely a difference between 2.8, 4 or 5.6 in this focal distance)
Thanks. Your first two shots of the trees are excellent.
I've been drooling over this thread for a long time. The photographers here are truly amazing and I hope to contribute and learn all I can! I only hope I can keep my Alt Glass Acquisition in check...
I always regretted how nice they painted that train, but that all the necessary bits to run the train were missing, and the red paint was also applied to the part of the wheel which touches the rails. Gorgeous train though, and hard to shoot nicely.

Yes, Hans Baluschek-Park, a nice place to walk with with my 4-year old son. - What necessary parts are missing to run the rain? My knowledge about trains is very limited...
Almost the entire instrumentation in the engine room, as well as the bars which transfer the power from the driven wheels to the other wheels. It is really stripped down. Maybe they were afraid that someone would come at night and either steal stuff, or try to start it!
You might be right in guessing that they might be afraid that someone steal some stuff or the whole train - something like that actually happens last year in Berlin when two historic trains from the Technikmuseum got lost (link)
