Pray tell, what is "Husbands Delight"? It looks to contain cheese and noodles (so far, it can't be bad) but what else and assembled in what manner?
I think my wife's going to post it tomorrow, www.cookingwithlibby.com, easier than me explaining it
It's kinda like lasagna, but better i think.

Lars,
Your work with this lens is incredible!
I need to not look at this thread before I get myself in trouble.

More from my long weekend in Cinque Terre, Italy
I really like these shots - I could probably spend a year there and not get all the photos I would want, lovely series.

Love the shots from the Italian coast Bob, great scenery and awesome colours.

Gary Clennan: I rather like the 50/1.4 at f/4. Nice smooth bokeh and much better sharpness than wide open.
Lars: Great shot again.
corposant: I love that portrait.
johnahill: Nice shots of the Mustangs.
rji2goleez: Even more great shots from a beautiful place.

Carsten, in your test shot i see the 3D
I was wondering if someone would! The first time I looked at this trike with my photographer's eye, I thought it was perfect for this. I see some, but not as much as in Martin's leather chair, for example. I will try again, maybe outside. The shot definitely has that Zeiss clarity though.

Fantastic shots, Bob, both town and little silver container!
To answer your question, yes, once I started to understand the limitations and strengths of the 50MP, I started being able to appreciate it more. I am now actively on the lookout for scenery and object which fits its special DoF characteristics. I do like the 50P very much as well, and will likely buy one some day.

Carsten, i kindly want you to describe your experiments since both of these shots are awesome, as sharpness and as 3D they're great.

-OlAf-, fantastic shots with 50MP. First one is really nice.
Lars, another excellent colorful shot.
fracas, love the details.
carstenw, excellent details, sharpness, colors. Wish I would able to take these types of shots soon!
So many fantastic images from others too; I could only mention the names on this page!

Uzay,
When I bought the 50MP (and 50 is my favorite focal length), I wanted to get a certain look. After a couple of weeks of trying, I didn't have a single shot which was as I wanted, more or less. The lens was sharp, quite free of aberrations, but didn't have the look I wanted. Initially I was very disappointed, and started wondering if I had made an expensive mistake.
Then I started reading more about it. I started with diglloyd, but he just went through his usual Stanford tile shooting, a rubbish bin, and whatever, and I was no wiser. Except he confirmed the good traits I had observed. Then I started reading the early days of this thread, and around page 40-60 I hit gold. A discussion between Samuli and Wayne and others observed a lot of what I was seeing. Specifically, the 50MP has a lot of DoF compared to other 50s at the same aperture. It is sharp though.
So I started trying to work around the fat DoF by finding subjects which stood alone in space, padded by a bunch of air before the next foreground/background object.
Another common comment is that the 50P gets 3D much easier than the 50MP. In fact, some were saying that the 50MP didn't do 3D. So I combined my above attempts with a search for subjects which had 3D potential, and light which modeled the subjects well. "Plastisch" is the German word for this 3D feel, however this is wrongly translated to the English "plasticity", which means something completely different.
Anyway, starting with my daughter's trike, I started hitting what I feel is the right formula for generating 3D with the 50MP. It isn't super strong, like Martin's leather chair shot, but it is there. The foreground needs to be absent, the subject must stand alone in the plane of focus, more or less, and the background needs to be removed, but not completely absent.
Anyone who has a 50MP and is interested in the experiment could follow along with their own shots. This lens clearly has 3D potential under the right circumstances. I am still not producing shots which pop right out of the screen, but I am getting closer.
The processing has to be done with great care and feel, to maximize the potential. Contrast, Vibrance, and Exposure/Brightness in Aperture 3, and sharpening in CS4 is what I have been doing.

Thanks prosep! I am sure that you can also produce shots like this. Try it!
That leaf/branch shot has a lot of 3D, to my eyes. I wonder if it would have a little more with slightly more DoF, maybe f/4? The root looks like it was resized in a single step and then over-sharpened. Could it be? In my experience, resizing in one step tends to kill detail, in shots which have a lot of small detail.
