Mast3rChi3f: Very nice set! I like the way you PP your images, the strong blue against the orange in the first image followed by the portrait with slightly desaturated colors. Great! Also, to my eyes there is a bit of 3D in the last two pics.
I have a question to ZE/ZF 100mm owners: looking at pictures with high(er) contrast in the OOF-regions I see a lot of CA in the bokeh, much more than I would like and in comparison to other lenses in this range I'm familiar with. Is this primarily a problem with wide open apertures? At which apertures are these OOF-CAs significantly reduced?
It goes away when stopped down a bit, maybe f/4 or f/5.6. It also doesn't always show up, just in dramatic situations. I expect Lightroom would be able to clean it up quite well.
I think it depends a lot on the focusing distance and the distance to the background. Looking at PeterGlaso's shot of the firefighters up on this page, which was taken at f/2.8, I don't really see any bokeh CA.
In my experience defringing in LR doesn't anything with bokeh CA; it only works with sharply defined color fringes. You may be able to use the adjustment brush to apply some magenta to parts that have cyan fringes and yellow where there's blue fringes, or just desaturate if the affected part of the image is white/gray/black.

Yesterday and today were happy FM days. I met two fellow FMers. Yesterday Siddhu, who now lives here with his wife Diana. And today I finally got to meet Bob (rjigoleez) and part of his family. We did more walking and talking than shooting, but what a pleasant walk and talk!
Along the way, one portrait with, you might have guessed, ZE 35 f:1.4. BTW, that is NOT a portrait of Bob!
- Thanks for the clarification Philippe! Indeed while the plan was to do much more shooting and lens exchanging, I was certainly not disappointed. Getting to know Philippe, even if just for a couple of hours, was well worth the couple of missed shots. Thanks for meeting us Philippe. The whole family enjoyed your company and generosity! As I just returned home, it will be a little bit before I can post a few images.
Thanks, Peter, Boris!
More good stuff from you, Hugo!
Very nice shots, Bob! Except the last one, of course, which is totally devoid of any visible signs of photographic or aesthetic knowledge, experience or ambition

! Philippe, you under estimate yourself because, you see, you created a wonderful memory for us!
Another breathtaking shot, Ulff.
From my side, I am just about ready to call the ZE35 f:1.4 my favorite lens, ahead of even the mighty ZE21. That is how happy I am with it.
