A landing sequence of a California brown pelican using my current favorite lens plus a 2X TC for an effective FL of 1200. BTW, they are cross posted somewhere else...
I'm just beginning a comparison between the Zeiss ZE 35/2 (recently purchased from Greggf on B&S), against Loxia 35 and Zeiss ZE 25/2 (Canon mount) (also a recent purchase on B&S from Danny Burke).
I've used the same PP on both shots (here, even the exposure is the same), with no profile used, only CA correction. No vignetting was added or removed.
Starting with a later shot between the ZE35 and the L35. As is well known, the Loxia lenses have outstanding sunstars, but it is nice to see how the ZE (and its brother the ZF Nikon mount) compares.
There is a tremendous amount of variation in sunstar shape and prismatic ghosts depending how the sun shines through the leaves and branches. I've chosen example that have "medium" characteristics, not too bright and not too many large ghosts.
I'll try to keep the examples colorful so it doesn't seem like a lesson.
Photos taken at the Thousand Oaks, CA City Hall and grounds.

Thanks Hiep!
We loved your state!
Bosque was super fun but we hit many many spots in NM and really enjoyed them all.
Just a matter of time before we return.
Elmendorf Lake is typically not a sunrise spot but things lined up in my favor this particular cold morning. We do some great sunsets from this lake though.
, Looking forward to seeing more of your photos.
