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.

Dude, you registered in 2008? Little history lesson:

The Contax N Digital was a six-megapixel digital SLR camera produced by Contax in Japan. The camera was announced in late 2000, and began to be sold in spring 2002, after several delays.
[...]
The next full-frame digital SLRs were the Canon EOS-1Ds of late 2002, followed by Kodak's DCS Pro 14n in 2003. In 2008 Sony and Nikon also introduced full-frame models.

I think that in 2008 there was a lot of talk about the Z* Makro-Planar 100/2 because they the "new" Zeiss lenses were being released around that time.

Maybe a garage wall

I know it isn't beautiful, but I am trying to capture the feeling of space at the moment, and it is an attempt which I like, even if I don't love it. I think I could have moved a little closer to get more of a presence to it, but maybe then the sky would have intruded. Anyway, it is interesting trying.

I like it how it is. Seriously. And to me, it is beautiful, even if it may be ugly.

Edit: you may want to crop the red stones away.

Aesthetically you are probably right, but I am afraid that I will lose the feeling of space, because the red stones also happen to be the closest edge… I will try and see what I think.

I tried:

What do you think?

The funny thing is that I saw the scene, which is a Hinterhof in Berlin, wanted to shoot it immediately, walked closer, and then probably stood there for five minutes, hemming and hawing, not knowing whether to shoot it or not. In the end, I turned away and was walking out when I thought, why not, I can decide later. I am now glad that I did shoot it.

The composition is much cleaner like that and I like it even more. And for my eyes the feeling of the space is equal, if not stronger.

I like it too. The sense of space is there, it has a lot for the eye to wander and explore, the uglyness of the garage gives you a sense of real life and the greenery is in fact giving lots of gracefulness to the place.
I find your panos very interesting, if I would have time right now I would like to try this kind of thing too and learn from your experiences. (I don't, so it will have to wait...)

Hi,
I have the C/Y version of Zeiss 85/1.4 and I like it's rendering a lot though sometimes the color looks a bit colder. (I think it's the AE version since the narrowest aperture text has no green color).
The ZE version is very tempting and I am very curious about it.

1) What are the main character differences between the C/Y and the ZE such as colors, CA, sharpness and contrast? I read that more people said the C/Y is sharper at wide open. Is it? (I use my lens wide open very often)

2) Is the focus shift of the ZE lens bothers you much?

3) I use Canon camera right now but maybe in the future I'll get a mirrorless camera like NEX. Is it more recommended that I bought the ZF version instead of the ZE? Which one has better selling value in the future?

Thanks

Carsten, that shot is amazing! Can't wait for my 1Ds2 to come back from canon (shutter died) and try something similar to this with my new CY 100 f2. My camera died just a few days into my holiday last month but had my girlfriends 450D so still managed some panos like this in Bulgaria. I really think the 100 is the most effective lens for it though.

The 100/2 should give you some stunning possibilities! I look forward to seeing what you can come up with. And thanks!

Btw, the Leica 180/2 is also not bad for this use

With the narrower depth of field, you can stand further away and get the same effect. Helpful.
