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.

Very nice drawing style from the 25/2. The 1st and 2nd shots are superb.

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.

Not really. We typically had some early afternoon clouds and sometimes a brief shower. Then it would clear through sunset!

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

Distagon 21/2.8 ZE as a macro lens? 
At f/2.8 initially as a CA test:
Here's a shot of it with different lighting (obviously) and the aperture set to f/9.5
My idea of a micro contrast sample and a look at the lens's stopped down bokeh when close focusing (again at f/9.5):

Wonderful works as always.
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.

Smridevan, Edward - thank you
Jim - Beautiful forest. I am split between #1 and #3. #3 gives more sense of space, #1 for the accentuate life surviving at the bottom.

@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!!
