The ZE35 is really good up very close, Joe. But do you really think a cactus is the best subject to prove exactly how close one can get?
And a great shot, too...
Too true Phillippe, too true We actually had a dog who fell down a mountain and bounced off three or four nasty ones, but I've been pretty lucky myself.
Couple test shots of willing subjects this evening with the ZE 100 (arrived this arvo). Even at night handheld, the histogram is full, without having to PP. Enjoying the full colours!
I received my ZE 21 yesterday and had a few minutes to get out. March in New Hampshire is not prime photography season, but I think I got a few nice shots. Here are a couple of my favorites.
And this one is from the ZE 50 f/1.4
The 21 is a fabulous lens! I can't wait to use it more.
I am enjoying this thread, the experiences and perspectives with the ZE lenses. There is still a place for the L series lenses, but I am really enjoying the 3D look from the Zeiss lenses.
Just received the lenses yesterday, ZE 21 and 100. Also waiting on the ZE 35.
Just a few test shots this morning. Very PP. I am really enjoying the depth of color even with a very overcast morning.
I posted this elsewhere, but as it was a Zeiss ZE 35, I thought it was appropriate here too. Just a fun picture where I see a spooky shape in the rapids and I think the slow shutter speed brings it out.

Fish and chips date from 1863 when John Lees combined fish and chips at Mossley market, in Lancashire, and soon after opened a shop nearby that boasted a sign in the window: 'Chip Potato Restaurant. Oldest Established in the World'.
Actually Fish & Chips were invented in East London, England. Joseph Malin opened a Fish and Chip shop in Cleveland Street, within the sound of Bow Bells, in 1860, three years before John Lees open his shop in Lancs.
Again I would like to thank the forum for the inspiring ZE images. Just really enjoying the colors straight out of the camera, virtually no PP. I have been using L series primes, and at wide open f stops, I found myself always adjusting the MF to accurately nail the focus. It is a pleasure to use these lenses. It is as if I have rediscovered photography again with a new set of eyes.
This shot was from this morning, on the beach at sunrise with ZE 21mm. Just love the colors and the feel. I have the 24L too, great lens too, but the colors are not quite as good.
Thanks! It is amazing the ZE 100 lens. These colors are real, and virtually no PP, other than sharpening. I have taken many similar shots with 24L, and the ZE 100 has a different dept to the color and micro contrast.
