hmm zeiss + AF certainly has me interested, mainly the 24-85N. anyone uses this lens for weddings/events/portraits? i mainly shoot primes but decided to pick up 24-70L recently for one body to shoot weddings/events stuff. anyone gave up their 24-70L for this lens? certainly losing f2.8 is a con but i would typically have a fast prime on the 2nd body.

I'd really like a n 50 or n 85 (though the images from the 100 look spectacular) but it seems a pia to get one

Hey Guys - great shots - really likin' that "N" 50.
CVickery - the 50 didn't have any problem resolving that detail - even at 1600 - what is that thing? Looks like an Alter Monument - must have taken a few generations to complete.
Andi - Robin at the waterspout - fabulous capture - motion and emotion - a heart melting pet portrait.
Paul - the landscapes are great - interesting scene - the child and the intense stare of the primate is a standout. The dissipation of the reflection really sets up that shot.

Paul, very nice. Sungsan Bridge, right? I had no idea the N17-35 produced such appealing stars. What was the f/stop?

Andi,
Like the simplicity of this one, as well as the processing, would be perfect IMO if it was a bit more off centered

Paul, unlike your bench shot, which is special for the complete lack of humor, I like the two pals for the exact opposite of this
Got you..........

Who needs a chainsaw, just move the camera a few inches

Paul,
Beautiful shots - just love the detail in that Architecture - looks like a fun trip - especially with a "camera in hand".

Mark,
From the way your pictures came out, you don't need the conversion....
Really nice....
My 50/1.4 and 85/1.4 are converted and Bo Ming is doing the QC inspection.
I can't wait to try them.....

My N 85 was just converted by Conurus and is on the way to me.
Can't wait to shoot with it. It will complete my Zeiss portrait lens trifecta of
Contax N 50, 85 and ZA 135 1.8! Thank you Conurus!!!

Yes. Andi, you can almost feel the light moving toward you from across the frame in it. Nice.
