Congrats James for the new lens at a very good price. Beautiful first image.

By the way, have you or anyone over here any idea of how the 35/2 AI or AIS compare with 35/1.4 AI/AIS specifically at f2?

Jose
Bjørn Rørslett claims it's "a little softer at f/2 than the 35/1.4. I liked these images of yours from the last 80 pages. I only took three weeks off from this thread...you wouldn't believe how many images I liked of everyones. Almost caught up on my client imaging....

Lizzie, wow, that's some really beautiful light there! Not to mention all the dust you'd have to deal with in changing lenses outside, too, I bet.

Thanks, Laura - actually I'm pleasantly surprised what I seem to be able to get away with on the dust front with the d800E - wish I could say the same for the 600 ;-(

Thanks for the comments Laura, Tony, Peter & Leighton.

Laura, I own two of these very old Tantalus (don;t know what the plural of Tantalus is?). Did complete restorations on both - included making
a key for one of them. My wife spent 1.5-2 years buying crystal decanters trying to complete the one set we already owned. Each stopper is hand
ground for it's specific bottle. A wrong match up had caused one decanter to shatter. Poor packing by many ebay sellers left us many boxes of crystal shards, but eventually we found a perfect match...and ended up with a complete second set for a different sized Tantalus.

Peter - enjoyed this one of yours....

Not much to shoot out there. Some inside shots to test out the 28-50mm f3.5 AIS. Quick JPEG shots from my D2X.

Thanks Leighton. I love it! It's smaller than the 35-70mm so that's a plus. I thought mine was defected because it only takes about 1/4 of the circumference to go to infinity.

Oh the lighting...guess who started it.

Thanks for the kind comments Leighton, Tony, David, Mark, Jose, Scott, Ben, Lizzie and Laura! Scott, regarding icicles, it got down in the 30's Thursday night so I'll be on the lookout.

Leighton, love the tunnel shots from Monticello.

Mark, very nice detail and color on your 55mm shots.

Philip, the courthouse photo has a great foreboding look to it. I like it!

Laura, great shots from New Year's Eve and school. No doubt, you'll be one of the coolest coeds on campus.

Rafael, I really like the first version of the wall photo. If you need an excuse to buy another MF lens, the wall would be a great candidate for a PC lens.

Scott, I really like the simple beauty of the cobblestone farmhouse photo.

Tony, nice fence!

Monty, great shot of Deb. Don't know if you're into competitions, but if you post that one on the weekly assignment thread ("occupational portraits") it's got my vote.

James, beautiful image with your new 35mm.

John, nice locomotive shots.

Peter, I like what you're doing with your photos of old film images.

Ben, love the "heatwave" shot!

Philippe, beautiful PC shots. I told myself I was done buying MF lenses. I might be wrong.

Chin, gorgeous shots! Great color depth and lighting.

Happy New Year!

Congrats James for the new lens at a very good price. Beautiful first image.

By the way, have you or anyone over here any idea of how the 35/2 AI or AIS compare with 35/1.4 AI/AIS specifically at f2?

I have both in AIS guise, at f/2.0 to my eyes: the 35 1.4 has flatter field and is sharper at longer distances, the 35 2 is better at short distances, and shows less aberration on bright lights. Both are good lenses at 2.0. from 2.8 on the 1.4 is better, more even performance across the frame. If price is a consideration I would get the 2.0. If 1.4 is wanted, the 1.4 is a competent performer at full aprrture as long as no lights are in the frame. Here is a comparison for landscape, similar photo at f2 on both lenses.

Leighton,
I put my ugly mug up a long time ago, and I don't know on what page of this thread it is located.

However, I have some fun shooting myself - it just seems to occur with AF lenses. Here I am watching TV
HERE - Yep, that's my hand and foot. I also sneak into the fridge more often than i should HERE I occasionally read a good book HERE I called this one "Digital Renewal" even though I trimmed my beard and mustache on one side the old fashion way HERE This one is my favorite because it uses smoke and mirrors to conceal my ugly mug HERE I have more, but I think you must be traumatized enough.
