That landscape is from the small town of Alma, WI on the Mississippi River looking across into Minnesota. And that lens, sometimes you find a good seller selling a nice sharp copy!
A few high iso shots of the band, The Premiums in the studio recording some new tracks. First two @ ISO 2000 the last at ISO 8000. All were shot with the Zeiss Contax 85/1.4
akul, was the black&white fence picture in wide end the zoom?

You should try focus stacking. Not the most fun job to do in the freezing cold though.
Tried it once, technique requires very heavy duty tripod and static subject. I doubt I ever try it again, also don't have software for it - or patience to sit extra minutes at computer.

Bit suprised tho, diffraction at f11? Thought thats issue only after f16.
At the webthumbnail size the diffraction's effect to sharpness is most likely not visible, but images even this size photos tend to become dull, "washed out" and micro contrast just isn't there. I have been able to make this better with deconvolution sharpening, could maybe also try to these macro images.
Also when lens is set to f/11 and you have 1:1 magnification the actual aperture is more like f/22 (there is formula to calculate it but don't have time now to google formula and calculate it).
Wide open this time:
Contax S-Planar T* 2.8/60 @ f/2.8, 1/4s, ISO 100, Zeiss T* polarizer
Kokusai - Nice portraits. Last one especially, nice soft lighting.
RX100 is certainly a nice capable camera and a good all round performer. I wish lens had a little more resolution at edges then it would have been perfect.
