I was mainly shooting the type of holiday photos that you don't want to post. But I may find some more abstract images from an old ferry and some portraits.
I have been in Greece and this island so often that my inspiration is close to zero there

Carsten - The 18 shot stitch of shrub is very attractive. There is the sense of infinite detail in this shot, but not 'in your face' kind of way. Tempelhof buildings pano is more 'conventional', but I like it. The other favorite was the kite shot. Wonderful sense of space in that shot.

FlyPenFly - Gtreat shot of Central Park pond. I too like the bicycle and bench shot, and I also really liked the doorway shot. Very nice B/W work.

Nice Akul..I like your shots taken with your CY...the bridge shot is fantastic!! do you have a BW version??
2 things...
1st. The CY I just got I'm am selling..I like it, but too many 50's at the moment, although looking at your shots make me kinda want to keep it!!
2nd. How the heck do you enable showing more than 4 photos at a time during a post?? I see you have 6...am I missing something??!!

@Gregg: You don't have to use the image upload function. You can simply use the direct URL to pictures from flickr, picasa, photobucket etc. (akul uses zeissimages.com) and paste it in your post -- then you can have as many pictures in your post as you want. You will not get the EXIF data though so you'll have to type that manually if you want to include that in your post.

FlyPenFLy- Thanks. They were from a trail along upper Delaware river.

Greggf - Thank you. I have not done B/W on that bridge shot yet, but thank you for the suggestion. Regarding your CY, if you have room, why not keep it? There may be time you find its beauty. I myself have not sold any lenses so far, so I am of course biased

For the question #2, I see AhamB already have answered.

Luka, the bridge shot and the last tree shot show the 50/1.4's unique ability to better isolate the subject from the background in a 3-d manner with volume.

Wayne - Thanks for the comment. I agree that 50 1.4 has a very unique and strong ability to render space and volume. That was always what I was drawn to about planar 50, but because I had CY50 1.4 sitting in my drawer from film days, I held off buying the Z series version. To be honest though, I did not shoot this lens enough on film to really learn how it behaved. Now I finally converted it with Leitax, I am happy to confirm what I was seeing from our fellow members do exist on CY planar as well.

By the way, due to the FOV, it may be slightly less, but I feel I witness the very similar quality from 85 1.4 shots.

Again, Akul, fantastic images! Ok, so I might take your advice and keep it for a bit(CY 50). The only problem is my wife hounding me because I have too many lenses!! Go figure!!

Gregg, what I did recently is to put all my gear in photo bags. One bag per kit. Then I stuffed them all in my wardrobe. Now they are out of sight, except for my Nikon kit.

Carsten, that is a great suggestion. Gregg, CY50 is so tiny. May be you can find a nook to stuff it into

Too many lenses and keeping them out of sight are two concepts which are just too complex for me wee brain.

Now if those were only Zeiss lenses, I would be jealous

But seriously, what we are looking at here is not so much a collection which cannot be hidden, but more a collection which has no one to hide from, unless I am much mistaken... I don't see how else it could have grown to this proportion

Btw, where are all the cameras?

There's 12 Zeiss lenses in there 5 cameras. That's no enough?

But yeah, for some reason I don't really care about camera bodies. I'm not into film anymore and the digitals I want are too expensive (even though I there's like $25k of lenses there

) or don't do what I want.

And yeah, you're mistaken...

The difference really is only hair.

Here's more of the MP 100/2.8:

This lens reminds me of my Contax 645 120mm f/4 Makro-Planar… I have the ZF.2 100MP, but I am beginning to itch to try this lens and the 100/2 Planar as well. Shite.

When I joined here, for the first 3 months or so, it seemed like there was at least one post a day from someone calling the MP 100/2.8 the king of lenses yada-yada... At the time I was shooting a Minolta A2 bridge camera and M4/3 of any kind, wan't even a rumor yet. There wasn't a DSLR model I respected much and I think there wasn't a FF out besides the Kodak. I had some very specific requirements before I'd pay for a new body. M4/3 specifically the GH1, came along and met all but a few of those. I've horse-traded and reconditioned/resold my way from $10 lenses, to $50 lenses, then $100, $250, $500, and now finally I'm at the $1k mark. The step up to the $500 limit was very rewarding and exciting. The $1k mark with these two and one prior, looks to be equally as exciting a step! I'm having fun!
