Really like both Ronny! The second is my favorite of the two. You're really making that 21mm sing. Beautiful.

Jochen, very nice black and white with interesting composition.

Good to see many fine 50MP images - my favourite ZE/F.

'Does the Feisol have a hook underneath where you could hang something?'

I use a loop of 6mm shock cord (or several of them cut and tied to different lengths) for different levels of tripod height; loop it over the hook, put a boot/shoe in the loop and stretch it by stepping down on it for huge downforce. Cheap, light, small, clean, easy to carry/use, ever ready - unlike a bag of anything, swinging in the wind capriciously, hither thither and yon A bag does not provide anywhere near the downforce as a cord, unless you get like, 50 kgs of rocks maybe, rather impractical. How do you move the tripod with a bag of stuff in it when you need to? With great difficulty I imagine...

cord like this:

but any hardware or camping store will have.

result: rock steady and secure tripod, the legs of which flex slightly against the shock load. We experience big winds in Aust, and a lot of the best light conditions occurs in big winds. In a real big wind, like might blow you over, push down hard on the base of the head as well as using a cord, while tripping the cable release. Happy foul weather shooting!

Jochen, I really like the simplicity and the (low contrast?) BW processing.

Thanks guys
Great shot Jochen

Great tip Philip, thanks.

Great shot Jochen, I went to Tuscany in 2007 on honeymoon and its probably the best holiday I've ever had, Tuscany is amazing and Montepulciano serve some fab galato

Thanks guys.
Yes Tuscany is great John, but it's much more beautiful in spring.

Yes sping in Tuscany is beautiful.
I was still shooting slides in 2007 so these are in the dim and distant dark ages for me as far as scanning and workflow go.

These were probably taken either on 28/2.8 or 35-70 contax zeiss, no exif means I have no idea

Looking at the colours these must have been on Velvia, may have a few original slides left somewhere.

beautiful shots john!

+1. The colours and sharpness are amazing. I might get back to slides myself.

Recently brought out the ZE 100MP for dinner with a friend and a walk after that. It's been too long since I used it. So I shot some food, a headshot, and still life.

@Johnahill: Very nice light and saturated colors in both of your shots.
@Reza: cool compositions with the shoes :-)
@Ronny: I'm guess that this is from Karlskrona (grew up in Ronneby...). Looks very cold despite the sun being up.
@alkanphel: Especially like the second shot. Both the grayscale and the very rapid transition from sharp to unsharp. Cool.

A few shots from a recent trip to Argentina. First two are from Perito Moreno (roughly a 40-60m high iceshelf/glacier gliding into a lake...). Third one is from El Chaltén.

D800 + Zeiss 100MP@f2.8 - tried to isolate the ice from the background.

nice work Ronny!

One from last fall with ZF25/2.8...

Very nice Gary. I actually fired off a few frames with the ZF25/2.8 this afternoon...much less scenic, but proved again to me how nice this lens performs.
