Luka, your first shot is wall-hanging stuff. I was just worried that it was produced with the X1, in which case I should have had to go through painful revisions...

That is funny, that was exactly my thought too philber. I had to do a double take on the camera/lens used just to make sure that wasn't the X1. I too like #1 best, but several of them are excellent

Adam, the belt has sliplocks (there are two sliplock "loops" on top of the belt - you don't attach anything to the belt itself) so you can use any LowePro sliplock accessories, also Safrotto (eBay) has wide variety of padded lens cases, from which I did found better sizes than from LowePro's selection.
I have carried 300/2.8 with other bag with similar belt system, and it's fine as long as you don't have to run. I have also been crawling in ground, while photographing butterflies with wideangle, and when attaching padded lens case to the sliplock "loop" closer to the bag/rear "loop" and crawling was still doable, thou I would prefer to use the sliplocks on side of back in similar situation in future.
No problem - I don't know when I stop feeling that I owe something to you thanks to teaching the live view movie mode trick, which allowed me get best performance from Planars with their focus shifts...
Hahah, no worries that's what we're all here for. To learn and help each other.
If it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't have any ZE lenses, and I'd still be using Canon primes (so that's thanks enough). Although my wallet suffered a blow, so it doesn't thank anyone. I'm glad that the liveview trick helped you out so much. It helps me as well when I'm shooting portraits with my z-finder.
EDIT: Just took a look at Safrotto, thanks, I may order a few pouches from them, my problem is the 21ZE doesn't fit in any pouch I own from lowepro other then a big one, where it wobbles a bit, and the other lenses really wobble in that pouch, so I was thinking perhaps if I got a pouch with the 21ZE was a really snug fit, then the other lenses would not wobble so much if they end up being put in the pouch.
So thanks again for the link.
Big wow to the 3rd image of the second bunch with the sailboat Denoir, truly a wallhanger, spectacular and very strong composition where the background is smoothed by the lens capabilities enhancing the 3d. One of the most stricking images i`ve seen so far

Brilliant shots Samuli! Great HDR work on #3 and 4. I love the warmth and subtly in the shots. I feel this is where the 100MP really shines in landscapes.
Similar to Luka's shot with the boat in the foreground
Wow, thanks for all the comments,
This travel kit will be a mix of L's, ZE's and some yet
decided on glass, the thought behind this kit is versatility,
A 3D(yet to be released grrrr) FF weather sealed body,
with a few L's for wet weather/ dusty conditions and fast action,
Then some ZE's for some Zing! Then a few others for fun.
And I'm using the term "travel kit" to cover
hiking, sight seeing, airline, train, boat...
To go where I want to go with a minimum of effort,
will let me take pictures without wishing I brought the other lens.
I am positive I'd take the ZE's on many a trip solo but have a few others to fall back on if needed.
To give you a rough idea what/where I'm going with this,
L's: 24-70LIS, 100LIS, 300LIS,
ZE's: 21, 35, 50MP,
Other: fish, 17tse, 85LII,
Very nice shots Samuli. I like the first (boat) shot best but I'm very impressed by the HDR - as I did not realize it was HDR until I read the description.
Here are a few from a walk about in the Dubai Heritage Centre yesterday - I was in the neighbourhood and thought I'd take the plunge out of the car's a/c despite the 47c (117f) temperatures in the shade! 20 minutes later and I was like a sodden dish cloth!
Thanks for comments. When shooting this kind of after sunset conditions you either have sky and silhouettes or burned sky and normal foreground objects, before HDR I was not able to capture this kind of scenes at all, maybe in 15-20 years we have enough dynamic range?
Phil, nice series with strong 3D even on extreme small image size.

I link photos simply because I don't know how to embed a picture having no upload facility on
Instructions:
1. go to image in zeissimages.com what you want to share here
2. right click the image (you need to be top of the image itself)
3. select from right click menu "copy URL of image" or similar functionality depending on your web browser
4. copy paste the URL to your post in this forum, since the URL ends to dot and "jpg" forum recognizes it as image and instead of link shows the image
Thanks Samuli - image size increased a little now. I'm starting to see what all the fuss is about - liking my Zeiss, just need better weather to get out and about and enjoy it more!
Thanks Charles and denoir. It's 1km2 of photography paradise, when it gets cooler. The restored 1800's architecture and windtowers from one of the original settlement areas in Dubai is a great contrast to the usual glass and concrete architecture.
