It started to become dark all of a sudden so I thought to try and catch some lightning.
Took me 20 minutes after countless of bursts and guesses. I've been photographing for a while now but I was never able to catch some good lightning. I don't have shutter-trigger-equipment or anything, so this was just luck:
The Zeiss 100/2 Makro-Planar suffers from LoCA at the wider apertures.
However, the LoCA correction tool of Nikon NX Studio mitigates the problem (differently from Capture One 22 Pro).
The pictures below show the full image taken with Z6 and Zeiss 100/2 Makro Planar @ f/2 and the 100% crops with LoCA correction ON and OFF.
Following Giovanni de' Vecchi paintings (see previous post), dating back to the Renaissance period, let's come back to Roman ruins and B&W photography: the beautiful Circus of Maxentius.
The Zeiss 100/2 Makro Planar demonstrates that it's possible to have impressively even sharpness across the frame, no residual spherical aberration, but great bokeh and out-of-focus rendition at the same time.

What's a ZF-I? Please elaborate. Have never heard of that. I know there are IR versions of the 25 and 50 ZF lenses.
Yes. As it was said before it's an industrial version. There are two visual changes - more robust sealing and special fixing screws to save focus position. Maybe it has different glass than regular one. But it's impossible to check
I looked at my IR version and it appears to have the nacelle of the Industrial version, drilled holes sans fixing screws. Its spectral transmission is of course different on account of the specialized coatings but all of them probably demonstrate the same MTF.
