35/2 ZF.2 at f/2 on D300

Home is where friends come to visit by _Maji_, on Flickr

100MP ZF.2 at f/2.8 on D800 - I do feel that this one has got a 3-D look to it.

When i shot with Canon I used the Zeiss 18mm/3.5, 21mm, 50mm Makro, 100mm makro. I thought they were all great. When i switched to the Nikon D800-- i went with the Nikon 100mm macro and 200mm/4 Micro AIS instead of the Zeiss 100mm. However i still purchased the 50mm makro and the 18mm 3.5mm. I think the Nikon macro lenses are better than Canon. The Bokeh from the nikon macro lenses are really nice. I also think that the Zeiss 50 and 100mm makro lenses are great for close ups but perhaps not the best in terms of long distance shooting-- e.g. landscapes. So I decided to go with the Zeiss 135/2. I received it today and took some test shots on the D800 and Sony A7R and very impressive. Sharp and nice bokeh. I started to do some comparisons with the Nikon 85mm/ 1.4 but had limited time so no opinion as of yet.
In general, very impressed with the Zeiss lineup.

I have to say I love the zeiss lenses i have mentioned.

If given druthers, get a Leica R 100 Makro APO over the 100 MP. The spherochromatism will drive you nuts.

Could you give one or two examples that drove you nuts.

Man the Zeiss bokeh is incredible, I hadn't really considered them before and no idea why (considering I have a Zeiss microscope too lol).

These lenses are in a price range of their own though, no impulse buying here I suspect

I recently picked up a Rokinon 85mm 1.4 for use on my FM2n. Its surprised me. Would love to be able to do an A/B and see what a few thousand can get me instead!

Ronny, for flowers I see you have an array of different lenses on your Flickr. Which one do you normally to-go and why?
