I find the 80-200/4 quite fine wide open, and wouldn't call it soft. f/5.6 is better though.

Thanks Vincent The credit lies with the bird, which just wasn't phased by me at all.

Nice job with the 80-200. Highly overlooked imo ... especially in the 80-135 range where it really pops the most.

Another 100MP shot @f/2 from Tiergarten. WebKit really sucks, the greens were so much nicer before the export. I guess I will switch back to Safari.

Modified my post. I did some testing, and it turns out that WebKit was at fault, not sRGB. I am switching back to Safari. I didn't realize that the colour space handling was specific to Safari.

I really wouldn't recommend using a browser which cannot handle colour spaces for participating in photo forums. Enough posts contain photos in other colour spaces to affect the experience, IMO.

carsten, I recommend you stick with Safari, they have always been the leader in CM. Firefox used to hide the ability to honour CM specs and one needed some arcane code to activate it! Maybe still does, can't recall.

Safaris also renders colour more crisply IMO, so it gets my use for all critical work. I hope you play CCR's Green River while enjoying the above nice one.

That's my favorite from your Tiergarten shots so far - I really like it!

If you're using Chrome on Windows, it supports color management. Start it with the command line parameter --enable-monitor-profile. Apparently this has been supported for over a year: http://klyment.com/serendipity/archives/386-2010.05.17-Activating-Colour-Management-in-Google-Chrome.html

I don't know if it's supported on Mac, but google will help you with that.

Thanks, Ulff! That is the second time in recent mind that someone has pointed at one of my more graphic images as a favorite. I am slowly getting the itch to do some more dramatic exposures, so maybe the time now is günstig

Philip, I have switched back. I wonder how many photos here I saw the wrong way due to WebKit's handling of colours? Safari 5.1 seems to be stable again. I installed WebKit due to some Safari stability problems, and it was also speedier. Safari 5.1 and Lion seem to have caught up again.

Nice, Edward. That is one sharp lens! I wish that existed in ZF.2 mount.

Thanks Carsten. I find the 100 mp to share some characteristics with the ZA, and pretty close in FL, even though design wise they are very different.

I do own the 100MP, which is a fantastic lens, but I find that even slightly different focal lengths have different requirements on shooting. I find 35/135mm very difficult focal lengths to get satisfying shots from, and consequently I am keen on trying I treat my 100MP more or less like a sharp, close-focusing 85mm lens, and just step back a little. I can't do that with a 135mm.

I know what you mean Carsten. 135 is not exactly my favorite FL as it is a bit too long or too short depending on the subject. I prefer either an 85 or a 200. But this lens is so sharp with a lovely bokeh that I find myself trying to find any excuse to use it

Carsten, Beatiful series of trees. As you may well know I am quite drawn to trees. They are hard to shoot, but just lovely. I like the 100MP pano very much, but also this shot above is very pretty. I love the way how it comes into focus.

I have been really enjoying my recently converted CY Planar 50 1.4 Here is a shot from the other day.
