But seriously, is anybody using the ZF/ZE 35/1.4 for moving subjects? Never mind running people - even when they sit in one place and just move the head around a little, I have the hardest time to focus with this lens. I get a good keeper rate with the 100/2, even wide open, but almost none with the 35/1.4 even at f/2. The shot above was the best from a series, and it's still not perfectly in focus (focus is in front of the eyes).
Seems I've been honorably mentioned in this thread already, but here goes
(this @2.8)
I don't find it more or less hard to focus than any other fast lens apart from the 2/100ZF which is horrible (for me). Even the 1.8/85 is easier. Perhaps I just haven't used it often enough (and now it's up for sale).
This is with the ZF 2/35 @2.8

Speaking of turkey, loved having a walk down derelict/worn street of Istanbul when I was there last spring. All with planar 1.4/50ZF and D700
and one with 2/35
and one with 2/35

The book probably meant that the Soviets invented everything. There are such problems with very large, powerful aggressive countries. Everyone should live in small weak countries

Hi, Rodluvan,
Really nice image for both street and City. I especially love the #2 and last from 2nd city series. awesome.
I do echo the comments that 35mm f1.4 is a harder lens to focus right compare almost all the speedy lens I used before. Especially consider slower it down won't help as much as I hope. You get the sharp photo, but critical sharp plain may not be the one you want it once zoom 100%. DOf on this lens seems less than it should be if you want pin-point sharpness.
The trick I have is really see through the viewfinder and judge the focus by eyes but not rely on Focus dot, however that require close to subject and good light like your #3&4 street shots. still it can be used to capture the moment but is slower to track moving subject.
For running people like #1,2&5 from your street shots, I am sure you can do it with Zone focus or just turn the scale to 2.5M and use Continues shooting 5-7frames/s. I am also curious what is your keep rate for shots like this.
I guess it is still depend on what you do. For some people, we certainly can afford to miss a shot or two, but for some professional require critical focus say on eyes on assignment, it may not acceptable. It is all about requirement and expectation.
don't get me wrong, I love 35f1.4. It is one of my favorite lens, but just don't want pass wrong information to the people potentially use it other way.
Regards.

Wow, I never imagined somebody could do this. Great shots! I love #2.
Funny how you describe the 100/2. I can focus that one ok, but then it was my first Zeiss lens and so I had some time to practice. Maybe I should give the 35/1.4 more time.
