Wow - thanks Ronny. And I'm beginning to think you are the master of that Zeiss 100 MP!

Well I can thank you and your 24-70 pics for my buying this bad boy! And I couldn't be happier. Its not a prime but it has its place and is a great walk-around and landscape lens. For me its sweet spot is f/7.1.
BTW love the Petzval pics - but then again I've always loved the Petzval signature bokeh!

Lovely shots of the Painted Hills Dave--making a bad lens look good
I like to bokeh on the 35 LTM
Thanks - I'm not saying that those condescending lens reviews were in error - I do believe there are bad copies of this lens out there. A pity. And I agree on the 35LTM - your pic shows great bokeh. Just another great option in the crowded 35mm field!
Here are a couple more Central Oregon pics. Really loving my new home state! Both of these taken with that villainous 24-70 FE. Both of these are just hand held snaps taking advantage of that OS.
Don't see too many images taken with the 24-240mm lens. I guess it is like the uncle that is hidden away in the attic but I like mine just fine. In fact, it is the sole lens I usually take to Rodeos and powwows. Here are a few images from the Ride the Brand Rodeo in Colorado Springs several weeks ago:
All of the images have been worked a bit with Topaz Impressions painterly effects. Early next year I am part of a three person gallery show and my part is titled "Cowboys and Indians" with virtually all of the images taken with that crazy uncle.
