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

very much 3D siddhu, makes me wonder: is this C/Y version or the new ZE/ZF version? Looks more like C/Y
It's the modern ZE version.

Cyra - more beuatiful olive trees. I just love them.They have a lot of character.
SIddhu - very nice, especially the first two caught my eyes.

Thanks a lot for your kind comments cyra, Boris & akul.
@cyra, I use a plugin called Mike's Framer as my "standard frame" google it
And very nice shots on this page also Krosavcheg, cyra, Jim, Siddhu and akul

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 )

Siddhu,
Vey nice samples from the 35, I agree it has that 3D rendering.
Akul,
Excellent compositions..I also like the rendering of the 35 f/2 in your photos
Lars,
I love #3..you all have got to stop posting these 35 1.4 photos

ZF 35/2 on D700, unfortunately a bit too high ISO for perfect results...

Makten,
the reds just look a little hot other than that its a nice shot, esp for iso 1100.

One from today.This shot cost me about 30 mosquito bites, but no pain no gain.
100MP @f2.2

Thanks Boris, frezeiss & Jim for kind comments.
Very nice Jim. Not easy with 100MP and MF on such a small subject.

Lars,
thanks, yes it was quite a challenge to get the ladybug in focus.
Here is another shot from the same time.

A quick (sc)outing today, just trying out some angles before the autumn really comes alive with color, any day now!
Leica M9 and Zeiss ZM 18mm around f8.
This is how it can look like when the first frost bites the area:
