Wow, what a set! A serious Apo Sonnar lovefest.
Haha, thanks buddy! Always nice to see someone likes it!
They are not all 135 apo though Some 35 distagon, some 50MP/100MP, but the majority indeed 135 apo.
@Kasper6188 I wouldn't mind adding that Otus to my 100mm collection. The optical performance actually moves to the next level versus all other Oti. Pity it remains so expensive.

Lovely set of pictures!
#12 is my preferred one.
Pictures taken with the 35/2 w/open are impressive too.
Well thank you ! Yes, the 35/2 is also impressive. Where I was telling earlier to always have my 100MP glued to the body, it was not the case in this holiday. I shot way more with the 35 and 135.
That 35/2 was one of my very good recent purchases (pssst: coming Thursday I will be the owner of a 85/1.4 Planar!! )

Fantastic images! The 35/135 50/100mp combo is my favorite set of Zeiss glass. Exquisite taste
Thanks mate! Nice picture of the bird. Look at that micro contrast in the tree!!
Calling the 100MP a 3D printer couldn't be more spot on!! Lovely picture!
By the way, since you have both the 100/2 Makro-Planar AND the 100/1.4 Otus, are there any particular examples of scenes/cases in which you prefer the one over the other, of course other than "when f/1.4 is necessary I take the Otus". Is there anything the 100MP does what the 100 Otus cannot do?

It's pretty much a when 1.4 is necessary take the Otus. There is something about the 100mp even when you stop it down. It pops but the dof still has a nice smooth transition. This random shot was at f5 with the 100mp
Few random z7 - 28/2 distagon shots on a harsh sunny day. Excuse the hydrant shot, if I have a Zeiss lens on me and I see something red, I must take it
Beautiful! Yes, this includes the fire hydrant shot. I like shooting fire hydrants, because they are similar to people, in form, but more cooperative, and many tend to have “character” of their own.
This reminds me that I need to soon resume my search for a nicely-preserved, pre-owned 28/2 Distagon.
Very seldom do I take the opportunity to photograph the same subjects/scenes with both Sony and Canon bodies using Zeiss lenses. The ZE are perfect for the job (with adapters for a7R4 and R bodies).
