Probably too much....I lose a lot of info on the shadows

Personally I really like your processing. Great series.

Thank you Carsten

Two with the ZF.2 35/1.4, cross-posted to the Zeiss 35/1.4 thread, both wide open:

Carsten - that first one is stellar!

Thanks Bob! I think I prefer the second one, but the first seems to have some of this spatial feel that this lens is famous for.

Carsten, beautiful rendering in both

My lens thanks you

+1, love it. But it cant be wideopen (?).

+1 to that.

EXIF says it is... Could there be an error? I know, it doesn't look it. The ZF version does render differently than the Contax version though...

Could it be that the super resolution of the D800 is fooling us here? I think DOF increases with the same lens used on a Canon 5D (12MP) compared to 5D2 (double that) shown websize.

Very nice Carsten!

Thanks Robert and Morty!

Wilhelm, I am not sure. Why not the second shot then? It could have something to do with the angle of the subject and the camera as well. The area below might be more tilted w.r.t. the camera than it looks.

The weather outside is depressing so I'm flipping through my archives for photos.

CY100 on 5D2

Larger

*Choo choo* - 3D train..

Otherwise, I think resolution might increase apparent DOF, but it has more to do with resizing method than resolution itself.

carsten - Those are gorgeous shots. #1 is great, but I like the #2 more. Only thing with #2 is I searched the focus point, not that it matters. Those suitcases, what are they ?

ZF35 1.4 @ 3.2

The focus is on the left handle. In hindsight, I should have stopped down 1 or 2 stops to get more of the cart in focus. The suitcases are part of the train exhibition at the Technikmuseum Berlin.

+1 suitcase picture!!! Love it!

Thanks, that's very kind of you to say after I try to ruin your OM-D thread
