Just came back from a trip to Bordeaux and Valencia, shoot all with ZEs 21/35/100. Yes, they are as good as it gets I guess...Here are some: (just a couple in the bar were shot with a Sigma DP2)
Hi everyone,
I am a new owner of a 21mm Distagon, which I have bought also after have looked at your photos and advices.
As expected, I am very satisfied with overall sharpness (even borders at f/2.8 are sharp) and flare resistance... and manual focus is great.
On the other side I don't see the 3d-effect and the micro-contrast superiority, about which many people write in forums.
Here are attached two versions of the same photo: one shooted with the canon 17-40mmm (at 21mm) and the other with the distagon. Both photos at f/4. I see a difference in color rendition: the Zeiss is warmer, but I can't tell it is a particular advantage ... but I don't see differences in contrast or a different 3D effect.
Do you think I am doing something wrong? Or that my Distagon is not working well?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

@ Diploneis: excellent b/w rendering! It actually took me a second or two before I realized what I was looking at..!
@ denoir: the reflection in the puddle photo is simply surreal!
