Greggf: Nice shot. Yes, I almost never use MP100 as a micro lens
frezeis: Like all the sea shots especially the first one in this pg.
Lieutenant: Another great set of street shots.
oneant: Love the isolation here.
Bob: What a nice lighting
Jim - Nice tone on the horseshoe here. If you trade Rokkor, be prepare the softness of P50 wide open :-) But Manual experience on that lens is really great. It is almost a perfect lens in terms of size, weight, focus throw, and back light performance is really great. I will suggest keep both, 1.2 is always welcome addition. I love my Nikkor 501.2.
Akul: your photo always have perfect sharpness and I can see the careful compose on all your photo. See all those subtle tone, color, light, texture change with all the line and angle. Great shot.
user222: Wow! wish I were there.
Now, some P85 photo to share:
f2
wide open (I didn't nail the focus on this one since it from Mirror, The P85 is very sharp lens wide open, I will provide sample later )
Ant, a fantastic capture, no doubt. Still, I dared to play with it, and made it into a portrait pic by cutting off both left and right ends, and prefer it that way. This is a friendly suggestion, please don't be offended.

Akul,
great job with the exposure,esp in the shadows.I like the abstract patches of light in the right corner
-Jim
I agree
Jim, it looks great as it is.
Bob, nice warm light.
zhangyue, nice colors in that first 85P shot.
Ant, that last one's great.
User222, I love the soft colors.
Z, your "behind the bushes" pics have a pervy feel I like the second shot.
Frezeiss, despite the fact that your PP is not my cup of tea I like the first shot.

I actually like it just the way it is right now. Matter of taste of course
Ant, you know what you can do with your limpet mine? Put it on somebody else's navire, please!
Z, great duo with Ant!You look like the monk in the Da Vinci code!
It used to be swedish words going around. Now French
Thank you Jim, Zhangyue, Jochenb, Lieutenant, Ant.
Ant - Exactly my first thought, 'Wow she looks like a Noh mask' Great shot. Walking around with camera is both a workout for brain, body, and spirit.
Robert - Love the color of the winter berry.
Zhangyu - Lovely portraits of your kids. Beautifully captured.
Lieutenant - Love you hight contrast style.

I think the 35 f/2 is the right one for you, considering you like Contax 28
Thanks for the idea. I happen to have the Samyang 35/1.4 (hush!) so I should probably start somewhere else. I have a weird tendency to talk a lot about street photography, but doing it less... so I am a bit into the 100 or 85. I've seen what Rodluvan does with these, annoyingly good. And on MY streets too!

Frank, you might consider renting some ZM lenses for your Nex before you jump into a new system.
Thanks Douglas. That would make good sense (and be healthy for the wallet) - but I have a 5D2 since long and just rediscovered the handling(-joy) of that camera compared to the NEX. I have a fair amount of good glass to it as well, but no ZE's.
The biggest upgrade for my NEX-system right now would be if Philippe let go of his Contax G21 and I followed your Hassy-EVF-improvement scheme
