Siddhu,
nice i agree has some nice Zeiss 3D.We discussed a while back that both 35s new and old are quite capable of producing 3D affect, it seems that some feel the older version might be able to produce it more consistently because the in focus to out of focus is more abrupt, but most will agree that the ZE version has the smoother bokeh while still holding its own in the 3D.
Here are a few from today.all taken with 100MP / 5D

Yeah, I'm going for the low radius and low screen sharpen for these Zeiss lenses. About the CS5 sharpening action, its a bit too much for me. I only edit using lightroom for now, no CS5. Thanks

frezeiss: not that I am an expert in sharpeing, far from it, but I know it is better to keep the radius down - try 0,3 to 0,7 max and rather increase the amount up to in the hundreds, or even full amount. I use low screen sharpening, but my images need to be a bit more sharpened up. There is a sharpening protocol for Fotoshop bei Samuli, adapted by denoir and Carsten and other people, Carsten has just linked his again in the Zeiss discussion thread, if you are interested. I am also still working on this, it takes time and experience.
I think a bit of the local adjustment tool on LR would easily lower the brightness. And also the over sharpening thing makes it more noticeable. Yeah I agree on the similarities of the ZF 35 to the ZF 28, perhaps the ZF 28 having more of the look you mentioned. I kinda like it actually
Thanks for the feedback, Akul.

frezeiss - Beautiful images. I like the #1 especially. On my monitor it does not appear overexposed, but what it is making it unusual is the oof bright spot behind the seaweed covered rocks. The way how it is rendered makes me think it is partly the characteristics of the lens. I feel I get similar look with 35. It has this saturated day dream sort of effect. Sharpening might have played a role a bit, but I am not sure. If it bothers you, easy fix may be to use the 'recover' function in Raw converter, but use conservatively as it can get weird when overly used. Also in a high contrast situation like this, polarizer seems to help tame the specular light. ( I am still learning the best use for it, and to me it is not always desirable )
