Wow, also very nice! I was there too, and have much less nice shots from there too. I need to go back and try again. I did miss the Sistine Chapel last time, so I have an excuse to go back.
Thank you! The trick here is to find the small box where you have to insert some money to switch on the lights.

A lot of great shots in the last days. Too many to comment on everyone. But Karel, Cyra and Bob have some really good shots on this page.

Philber,
the 35/1.4 Distagon seems to be a great "statue lens". The first shot in your second post shows the best rendering I could imagine for such a scene, remarkable "3D". And I'm saying that although I'm not the biggest statue fan alive.

The 35 seems to be a good match for the 21. Very fine detail, if that can be judged from that image size at all. The last two: I didn't even notice it was a different lens. I think, you can keep it, you are doing ok statues with it 
Now a comparison with the 35/2.0 would be nice, of statues off course
to bad you don't have it any more.

Poor fella... but great sharp focus on the eyes, and crazy cool blue eyes no less!

Very nice sets, Philippe, though you had much better light in the first set!
Would you happen to have more shots to share where Craggs works mix with the old statues?

Philber: Very nice statues. Though I have to agree with Lars, you get dizzy looking at them.

Philippe, I prefer the (cleaner) composition of you second set. My favorite is the first image of the second set. In your first and third set there are some cropped objects at the edges (for example the roof or the archway) that draw of the attentation from the main subject.

Boris, I agree with you 100% (as a Padawan must, right?). Just, the Louvre is a very public place, and making those shots already took a lot of time, waiting for as clean a situation as possible. From then on, the choice becomes: to take a less-than-perfect shot, or no shot at all. Next time, I will go there and do it over again, but this time with no compromises. The one that is worth it IMHO is the third one from the first set, which could be really great. I probably have to use my 21 and then crop to get a better composition, and wait however long it takes for a clean shot.

Philippe, I understand your constraints during the shooting. But I think you could improve the composition with a slightly different cropping in LR/PS. I hope you don't mind that I show here some examples of what I mean:

Edit: sorry Bobu, I just looked at the original image again and saw that is is too tight already.

Bobu, I agree on the first two, but not on the last. It needs more context and the crop is too tight at the left and the right.

This thread is fantastic. Thank you all for the beautiful Zeiss pics.
Does Zeiss performs radioactivity tests on lenses arriving from Cosina (Japan, Nagano prefecture)?.
thanks
