So is the general consensus that the 1.4/35 is better for scapes than the 2/35, on FX (D700)?

Alex, I see a kind of deep orange, bordering on red. I have had problems with reds with Canon cameras especially, but also with Nikon, and was just wondering if the shirt was actually red.

the f/1.4 has a higher resolution than the f/2 and has less lateral chromatic aberrations.
you can see the resolution difference here: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=726&Camera=453&Sample=0&FLI=0&API=3&LensComp=749&CameraComp=453&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=4

I have none of these though (for the moment...)

Andreas, nice set, glad you are getting a chance to shoot some again!
I like the last one with the drops the best but enjoy the greens rendered by the cooler WB colors of CY lenses vs the newer Z*.

The new 35/1.4 has field curvature and at f5.6,f8 I don't think there is much sharpness difference.
Lloyd Chambers compared the two in his pay Zeiss guide.

Has anybody leitaxed their 35 for canon use? I would like to convert my 35 1.4 but I don't see it on their page except on the m42 mount conversion page. I would like to convert to eos, is this possible? I think the 35 is a wide mount as well, yes?

another beautiful photo. I emailed david, and got a straight answer. Leitax (changing the rear mount). I hate my wobbly adapter.

@sebboh: Aargh, envy! Nice shots. This is one of the very few lenses that I'm still really lusting after.

I just won a Rollei version, but the seller is trying to back out of it. Its missing the rubber focus ring and I suspect he just didn't get as much as he wanted for it. Right after the auction ended I got a request to cancel the transaction saying there's a 10mm cleaning mark that he hadn't noticed before. I told him I still wanted it. Hopefully I will be a new card carrying member of the Distagon club soon. My wallet thanks you for your many pages of inspiration.

Hey Sebboh, surprisingly I did capture the same (!?) bench . Was it at Golden gate park ?
