Thank you Rasmus and Joakim. Love that last snow shot in particular, the wagon one.

Mast3rChi3f, two killer shots there, especially the one from the 100MP.

carstenw wroteWelcome Ruben! Very nice photos. Are you by any chance a friend of Hugo Mast3rChi3f?
Thanks. Yes carstenw, in fact we are a great friends. The person in first photo that I posted, is him.


Stay strong! If I am guessing correctly, you still have only 1 Zeiss lens and a healthy bank account. Keep it that way!

Thanks Todd.

carstenw i don't think so, he will buy a few more, thats for sure.
He already known what CZ glass it's capable of, and that it's my fault. lol

Well, the most important thing is that once you go down this slippery slope, it is crucial to have someone to blame, and that he has!

Wonderful to see more beautiful photos.

beud- Very loverly shot of tea shop. I like the color.

Denoir - Love the texture of the first shot ( sculpture). Third shot, the four red barns ( or garages ?) however, actually is my most favorite. Powerful composition. And the 18mm shot showcases quite an amazing clarity of the lens.

Carsten - Great 'window' shot. Your cemetery series has been giving me inspiration to go into churchyard cemetery to shoot on a grey day.

Philber - I am totally enjoying to see all sorts of new shots coming out from you !! I like the shot of concrete columns from La Defense ( parking ? ) Looking forward to see your shots with 25 biogon.

Bob - Wonderful 'self portrait'. I am glad that you have been recording the decaying abandoned site in consistent manner. Soon it will be another strip mall I guess. #3 and #4 are my favorite.

rsolti13 - ZM ! On which body ? I somehow thought you were ZF shooter. Anyhow, love the second shot. It is almost a B/W shot.

RubenFreitas - Welcome to the thread. I enjoy the last two shots very much. Looking forward to see more with your new 50 MP !

Todd - That is a very stunning portrait. Strong presence. It feels like she is sitting right there in front.

joakim - Beautiful snow shots. I like the comosition of the second shot very much.

Mast3rChi3f - That first shot is a great one.

I seem to be drawn to 'window' shots lately.

First is from a cemetery / church graveyard downtown with ZF.2 100. I noticed interesting reflection from Carsten's series ( slightly vertical adjusted and cropped )



These are more of 'gates' shots, but somehow in similar spirit both are ZF.2 35

Thanks rsolti13.

That solves the mystery. Great shots. I am playing with the idea of getting NEX so that I can play with great ZM lenses, especially now I see wonderful results posted by Philber with his NEX project, it is a tempting possibility. How do you like your Biogon? How do you like M8? I saw some comment on IR issue of some sort. I love Leica design, but it is out of my focus range.

Thank you very much, Akul. I have really enjoyed doing this series, but I can feel that it is slowly nearing the end of the project. I am starting to feel a bit saturated, and need to sit down and edit the photos down to a solid set of 30-50 shots, and put together a portfolio from it.

Then it is time to move on to the next project!

Very nice shots from you too!

Hello, this is my first post here. I have to compliment this great forum.

Beud: Ha - I have very same tea pot... Cool shot!

Luka: Great light in 1,2 and 3. Great image of the sculpture - textures are superb. Second is really lovely with the smoke and beautiful sky. The garages is the best IMHO with very strong composition and simple, but strong red & white color combination. And cool perspective and clarity in yacht shot with 18mm...

Carsten: I like how you framed your shot!

Philber: is very interesting what you are doing! Keep em coming!

Bob: Very creative self-portrait! I always like to see something out of box! Lovely textures in following images!

Philber: love your urban shots! Great mood!

Rsolti: I really like the second shot.

RubenFreitas: Welcome! Some really great pics to start with! I like those "drunk" shots and great sky in the last one!

Todd: No doubt among the best portraits posted here! Great eye contact, wonderful control over lightning and last, but not the least - what a beautiful model!

Joakim: Beautiful and moody winter shots!

Hugo: I like them both - portrait really draws you in with wonderful blend of reflections, expression, which creates really strong mood and the black sheep fits well with the first one!

Akul : Great architecture shots! I especially like how you composed first one and use of DOF in it! Gates are also very cool!

Joakim: love a soft pink light on branches!

RZ: winter at it's most beautiful! If only we all the time have snow and sun together!

Sami: lovely crisp winter shots!

Haven't been shooting much myself lately, but here are two snaps from the last week (first with 100mm wide open, second with 21mm wide open):













Stay warm!

Thanks Joakim, Carsten, Martynas

Carsten - I think I know what you mean. I sometimes get the feeling of 'burned out' from a certain spot I often visit.

Joakim - I can feel the clean piercing cold air from your photo. Great shot

RZetter - Third shot is my favorite. Light shooting through snow covered branches. Also like the snow texture on the second shot. Great captures in quite challenging light for all of them.

Sami - The way how the OOF branch echoes branches in focus is very nice. That, to me is a beautiful bokeh.

Donus - Wonderful portrait. He has quite beautiful eyes.

Martynas - The first shot is pretty ! Love the oof christmas lights. Second shot is surreal with house and moon in focus while the trees being blurry from wind.


Few more from last night with ZF2 35

This is one seriously fantastic thread! So many nice pictures it made me order a ZE 35/2 as a pre-christmas present. I told my better half that I didn't have a lens that would cut it for indoor christmas photos, and after she bought herself an iPhone 4 she really couldn't argue much Will post a picture as soon as I have one that I feel is worthy!

Btw. This thread also make me crave that much more for a 5Dmk2
