Jim, Ajay, super stuff!
Donuss, your last shot is simply breathtaking!
And yes, dergiman, I find the 35 f:1.4 easier to focus than any other ZE I have owned. A combination of f:1.4, focal length and throw make it really easy. I have lent it to other FM members who all had the same experience. I will take it out this week-end.
thanks for the info!

Am I the only one preferring the busier ZE35/2 bokeh?

In certain times it can work but you do get condom ring bokeh wide open sometimes which is annoying.
Also sometimes you get messed up looking tadpole bokeh. While it has some character its also just odd.
I kind of want to try out a 35 F2.4 Flek to see how it compares but with my C/Y 35-70 F3.4, I can't justify that purchase.

I think they are about the same from f/2. Wide open the f/1,4 can be a bit difficult like all fast lenses

Very nice Jim and Lars! Jim - that must be your ultimate car. It is the exact shade of red as a barn.

so far I am also still prefering it. The 35/1.4 looks so clean in comparison, the 35/2.0 seems to have more of a character on it's own. But the smoothness of the bokeh of the 1.4 version is indeed adorable.

Nice shots!
By the way, what is the trend for the ZE/ZF/ZF2 50/1.4? I often read it is a good performer but its 'bokeh' is not pretty... I am wondering to get one but am still hesitating.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.Hey, Thomas, thank you very much.
As for the bokeh, Lars gave you an excellent example of what it is people complain about. It's got the right idea on light dispersion in the OOF areas, but it's global contrast is too strong to give it the smooth, watercolor-like performance of a lower contrast lens, like that of the Summilux-R or Nikon AIS, in a medium-to-high contrast lighting scenario with a busy background. In a studio setting with controlled lighting a solid-color or low-contrast painted backdrop, it's very well behaved wide open at close distances. It's not blazing sharp at that...Show more →
Hi Brad,
Thanks a lot for your complete feedback. It helps definitely!

Some snaps from my company's picnic today with the ZF 50/1.4 @ f/2 (first three) and f/4 (last one) on the 5D. I really dig this lens' rendering between f/2 and 8. After I unpacked it, I probably spent five minutes staring down the barrel, opening and closing to the aperture just to watch that near-pefect circle get smaller and then bigger, and then smaller again.By the way, what is the trend for the ZE/ZF/ZF2 50/1.4?
