And Thanks to Jim, Philippe and Sculptormic.
Highfive: Last one is really good.
Phillip Reeve: I really like your first one. Do you recommend the lens turbo? /edit: found your thread.
Today I've been out with my bicycle and the NEX-7 again. This time with ZA 24/1.8. Bad weather, therefore only two pics from Tiergarten
Stefan - I like these very much. I'm going to be in Berlin soon, and need to get to the Tiergarten.
HighFive - Wonderful images, all. I really liked the last one.
Phillip - I need to come take lessons from you.

Sebboh, Really good pics. Do you have experience with the c/y 28, too. Is the Contax G as sharp or even better?
Thnaks Stefan
thanks! i haven't used the c/y 28/2.8, but zeiss's mtfs indicate that the contax g version should be a slightly better performer, especially as you move away from the center. on the NEX-7 i'm sure the c/y would perform better in the corners though. i have to stop down to f/11 to get decent extreme corners on the 7 (plus color correct the corners), things look much better on the 16mp NEXs though.
Thanks to the reference to the downsampling thread. I've read through it quickly, and am trying to process it all in my head. May I ask what you are using now?

i export a 6MP image as 16bit psd to PS, apply this action: sharpening by reevedata, on Flickr

From my unscientific experience given my particular copies I'd say the Contax G on a 16MP NEX 5N rivals the CY (28/2.8) on a Canon 5D2 on the per pixel sharpness. And in my mind that is quite an achievement given the difference in pixel density.
People are rightfully saluting the CY 28/2.8 for colors, cross-frame performance and so forth. And the sharpness for landscaping is good, but not exceptional like e.g. the ZE 21/2.8.
What the CY may have, compared to the Contax G, is more Zeissyness.
Tres tres sympa!
