That happened with me once. I had my browser set at a slight higher magnification and everything looked horrible. I thought I was having a bad day!

PEKA62: Good that this was issue just with your browser. We had here forum issue of incorrect JPG-scaling in ~2011, and I had to rescale all my images to width, which was multiple of 8px in order to show them in FM-forum correctly. I was afraid that the forum software is again broken.
And few images I took when Loxia 50 was brand new in 2015 winter, and I had to make sure I like it enough to take it holiday with me with ZE 2/25 and ZE 2/135. I used Hoya HD CIR-PL 52mm and 120cm (47.24409448818 inch) silver/white reflector to reflect flash into the subject when shooting these images as there was super gray day and no light. All f/2.8:
Loxia 85mm is a general purpose lens, but its prowess as a portrait lens is unlikely to be - let's say 'matched' by the CV lens, if only due to the very different palette and compression.

David, what about the CV65? It could do the Job of a Loxia 50 and 85 and would match a 35mm perfectly.
Thank you for the great idea Jannik. I hadn't thought about the CV 65mm too much, since it is fairly close (FOV) to my FF 55mm. But with regards to rendering, you're right that it would be a great fit with the Loxias. It also is priced a little nicer that the Loxia 85mm and I just love the barrel ergonomics (aperture/focus ring) of the CV lenses better than Loxias.

One more vote for the CV 65/2 APO!
How about Loxia 21, Loxia 35, CV 65 and Batis 135 for landscapes? Throw in the 12-24G for the ultra wide range and you are set!

That's a plan Fred. I'm convinced (a tour through the CV 65mm APO thread was most persuasive. Really appreciate the recommendation.
