Hardcore: love both shots!
Nickson: Nice set, but the 1st shot is outstanding.
Jochen: Really nice! Love shots of people doping something and this one is quite successful. BW suits the subject well.
I was choosing between the 2/28 or the 2.8/25. I'm not surprised they (all three) draw this similarly. The bokeh is rather (here it comes) busy in this combination of subject to background distance imo. Perhaps you've sharpened a tad too much as well? The in-focus to out-of-focus transition is sublime though. Very typical for zeiss.

yes. sometimes I use sharpen + masking for bokeh but all these were sharpen only, and they got extra sharpen from Flickr. It was my first tried out with 2/25 today in a harsh day and I my opinion : yes sublime out-of-focus transition, high contrast, colors are pop! and extra vignetting really help me a lot
Lieutenant Z - I love your cemetery shots playing with infinite repetition.
Dalmas - Great to see your work again. I enjoy your planar shots.
alkanphel - Very nice absract closeups. B/W is quite effective
abhi- Gorgeous set. Love them all.
nickson- I love your pp. The tone you have is quite cinematic. ( Hm, do I always say that? If so, I mean it. )
Jim - Superb pair with 50P. They really work for me as a set. Also love the bokeh on the shoes shot.
frezeiss - Lovely shots of kids.#1 especially. Stirs up nostalgia.
Bob - Brilliantly beautiful. Gorgeous clouds, but man, LOVE the last shot. Great capture.
Rji2goleez, 2and 4 are incredible.
Otacon, excellent street shots.
Schemel, Love the shoes.
Reagan, the two last shots with the lights are really cool.
@Jim... I too like the third shot very much. Lots of beautiful redwoods here in SC To take pictures of!! My wife and I take the kids and dog on walks here in Scott's Valley where there are quite a few redwoods, also. Have you been back to "Mama Lucia's" recently??
@Akul... The last shot is really nice! Something about the double yellow line, and how you're not supposed to cross it... Makes you want to, but then you'd ruin the mood!!

At f/2.8 initially as a CA test:
