#1 is fantastic!
Thanks for the nice comment
I've been to London last week and I only took my 50MP and 100MP and I shot everything handheld:
1:
R6 | Zeiss 50MP | f/2.8 | ISO 800
2:
R6 | Zeiss 100MP | f/2 | ISO 400
3:
R6 | Zeiss 100MP | f/2 | ISO 6400
4:
R6 | Zeiss 100MP | f/2 | ISO 100
5:
R6 | Zeiss 50MP | f/8 | ISO 160
6:
R6 | Zeiss 50MP | f/4 | ISO 100
7:
R6 | Zeiss 50MP | f/2 | ISO 1600
8:
R6 | Zeiss 50MP | f/2 | ISO 640
9:
R6 | Zeiss 100MP | f/2 | ISO 1000
10:
R6 | Zeiss 100MP | f/2 | ISO 100
(metadata on Flicr says f/5.6 but I opened 2 the same foto's as layers in Photoshop and I deleted 1 layer and apparently saved it to the wrong file )
11:
R6 | Zeiss 50MP | f/5.6 | ISO 800
12:
R6 | Zeiss 100MP | f/8 | ISO 100
13:
R6 | Zeiss 100MP | f/5.6 | ISO 400
14:
R6 | Zeiss 100MP | f/2.8 | ISO 800
15:
R6 | Zeiss 100MP | f/14 | ISO 1000
I have no idea why the artifacts in the sky of #1 are there...They are not there in my exported JPG's, but apparently, Flickr adds it, including noise
Nice set.
For the end of the year I plan to go to Turin. I plan to carry 14-30/4 S, CV 50/2 Apo Lanthar and either the 135 Apo Sonnar or the 100 Makro Planar (lighter and smaller) ... I'll bring a table tripod too

Yes, tripod saves the day What do you think of the use of the 135 apo? For me, it was a long desired lens which I finally bought in 2021. It is a perfect lens, 3D/microcontrast/true to life color rendition and it does nothing wrong at all, but to be completely honest I often find myself in the situation that 135mm is just too long...I am a landscape photographer in the first place, and I can always find something to shoot at 50mm or 100mm or 35mm for that matter, heck, even at 200mm, 300mm and 400mm...but for some reason 135mm is either WAY too short or just a tad too long....How can that be?
The 100MP is still glued to my R6 because the 100mm focal length is just almost never too long or to short for my particular situations.

The 3D of the 100 Makro-Planar fairly leaps off the page in the building shots. What a lens.
It produces the worst-of-the-worst chromatic aberration :'( That purple fringing is in more than 60% of the cases uncorrectable....But still it is glued to my body, why, because it even has more 3D than the 135 apo sonnar, and from all the zeiss/voigtlander lenses I've tried, the 100MP produces the best 3D and it is such an extremely versatile lens...Like I said, there is almost no situation where I cannot use it. So the 135 is optically superior in every way, but that 100MP is so damn versatile including the 3d pop it makes it a so much more usable lens.
I'm using this ZF.2 50mm 1.4 Planar on my Nikon F3P, but decided to quickly see how it would work on my Z7 as I never tried it before on digital. So my long suffering pup Pepe was drawn into service. You can just see the excitement on his face...
Pics @ 1.4, I like the way they look - or as you lot would say, 'render'.
