Speaking of infinity - this is the only MF lens I've ever owned that has so far actually stopped at true infinity. Not my former $900 ZE 35/2 on my Canon 5Ds, not my Leica 90/2 with a freaking $100 Metabones piece of metal, but this cheap $270 Canon FD with a $14 Chinese import adapter. Go figure.
I had that problem when buying Zeiss ZF2 lenses. For both the 21 and 35/2 I had to try a few versions (2 + 3) before I nailed it. Maybe camera compatibility ? Not sure why that should be so though.

Mike - I think you have some great shots but I think they'd have a lot more impact if you posted them a little larger

That yellow house looks very familiar, Gregg. I think I rented a vacation house in the same neighborhood.

OK a little cheating here with this cross-post from the 'Ode to Minolta Rokkor 35-70/3,5 Macro' thread !
A few from yesterday - just testing !
100% crop
Purely to test for sharpness & distortion
100% crop
My wife insisted I soften certain areas of the shot - but the bag is still sharp

Really? It's in a neighbor hood called Cliff/Townsend in Aptos, just above Seacliff Beach. That particular house is on the corner of Seaview and Farley Dr's

On the same walk in the park there was a couple having some pre-wedding shots taken and I sneaked in (without disturbing the work of the wedding tog) for a couple of my own 
I was a little far away for the Makro Planar 100/2 (the pro was using a 70-200) on the A7 and my angle wasn't the best but got to take the opportunity when given right ? Any tips on processing wedding photos ? I'm not that enamoured with mine

my advice as a fellow non wedding shooter: reduce contrast, reduce local contrast, reduce saturation, and don't use a zeiss lens.
anyway, a couple shots with the c/y 35/1.4 wide open:

Thanks for the tips ! I guess what you mean by don't use Zeiss is that they are too sharp ?
Putting new-born babies in the window doesn't reduce the yellow you know

too microcontrasty and contrasty more than too sharp.
actually, it does reduce the yellow but not as much as using the lights designed for that purpose btw. that was the only place for the scale though and i liked the background.
oh, a lot of wedding photographers seem to like to use heavy vignetting or reversed vignetting, that's more of a style choice.

Thanks. Yes I know (window) but was just jesting, I have a strange sense of humour (in this case re. radio-active yellowed lenses). My daughter also spent 24 hrs under UV when she was born.
I tried a few vignettes but didn't really like them - as you say a personal choice.

Also in the park (and also MP 100/2 on A7) were two ladies doing Tai Qi - not your usual TQ though, this was a much advanced version and despite their advancing years they were brilliant ! Didn't want to intrude too much so didn't get too close.

Two shots from my Pentax SMC 50/1.4 (I think I'm going to really like this lens). Last two are from the FE 35.
