#1. This was what would-be invaders saw when they looked up at seven gated Mehrangarh fort, in Jodhpur.
#2. Provided they had got by the artillery, that is. CY 21/2.8, a99.

Happy New Year!

I am working up images from a trip to Utah this past October. I used the C/Y 35-70mm a lot during the trip and it was really my first extensive use of this lens. It turned out to be a terrific lens to use on a vacation, with my only issue really being that sometimes I could not tell if it was focused properly or not (which is probably more an issue with my eyesight than with the lens).

Here is one shot that I took on a middle-of-the-day hike to The Toadstools in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. I did not carry my tripod on that hike, so the shot was handheld.

I've been using my old NEX-5R a bit lately, mostly with the Contax G 28mm f/2.8. Miss that lens. I've been bring it along when the A7 feels like overkill.

Something I spotted on my way home from the grocery store.

I've got a second-hand Distagon T* 2/35 ZF earlier this year. I haven't got that many opportunities to use it. This is a series from a military museums, no fine arts here, but I am happy about the results I am getting out of the lens:

Color correction is the biggest deal about this lens for me: bokeh fringing, CA, etc. The sharpness is also very high, and pretty even across the frame. Bokeh is neutral, and the focus ring has a big and smooth throw. It's a semi-macro lens and has 1:4 reproduction ratio and relatively close focusing. Optically, the lens is about as neutral and invisible as you can get. I've used it for landscape, low-light action shots, portraits, product shots, and video production and it does well on all of them (though you really need to practice MF focusing for the action stuff).

The Samyang 135 is said to be just as good optically, and maybe even better, but there are doubts about its build quality.

No other 135 comes close.

I've never used a 100MP, but compared to my other manual focus 90mm macro (the Bokina) and the 180 Voigtlander, it's about the same in liveview. I've never shot the Bokina or Voigtlander without liveview, so I'm not sure. Is there a specific problem you've had in past with manual focusing?

No I have few zeiss Ze lenses, I asked because if 2/135 is hard to focus handheld given by its focal length, i'll just stay with 2/100 makro.
