Yea, I guess they have increased in popularity in the last few years. I, however, are one of the unfortunate few that has been a fan of theirs for quite a long time now, and had been suffered since the mid-90's when Dollar Bill Wirtz sent everyone that was looking for a raise packin'.
It wasn't that long ago the 'ABC' line was the talk of the team... Those were sad times.

Only during the current season, when they started winning. I went to a game back in 2007 where attendance must have been 15% of seating capacity. Of course, they lost.

These are with a Zuiko 50/1.4 shot at either 1.4 or 2. Bokeh is not the smoothest but it's OK.

Well, if it is the only way to do it, then it has to be OK. But, is it really admirable?

Zeiss 35/2 ZF @ f/2 on D700. Not a very good shot, but I really like the OOF rendering and how sharp it is wide open!

At 100% crop there's nothing impressive to be seen, but the local contrast is high and the allover perceived sharpness is better than with most lenses I've tried.

Well, I think they are very Zeissish. That's a serious fun series of lenses you got there!

Heh. A fading memory comes with age, I shouldn't be surprised. But I should have searched here rather than trying Google, or maybe had should have had a look in Da stupid Index... Thank you!

Nearly everything is "admirable", no worries. What are those triangular shapes in the image?

Hi Thomas, and welcome,
Hmm, that's not an image, it is a link, no? For everybody's convenience please edit your post and replace the link with a working image popping up. Thank you!

Thomas,

I clicked your link, came to a black page with a link "Fathpru Siki...", clicked that link, came to Flickr, clicked the image, picked a size (1024 on the long side is about max to link directly) above the image and could see the image. Right clicking the image gave me an option to save the image location (Windows, Firefox) and if that URL is put inside an image link here it looks like this:
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4318419067_18f38f820f_b.jpg

Not bad at all, btw.

Maybe the image should have showed up immediately clicking your link, I don't know. It didn't, or I didn't have the patience. Getting the image inside your post from the start make people look at it, it's a better surfing experience, don't you think? I suspect many just don't care to click away and open new windows.

regards,

/Jonas
