Its funny, you tend to hear about how average the 85P is wide open but it seems like this is never placed in the correct context relative to other top optics. The 85P is straight magic wide open.

To the people that commented on my last photo: thank you!
Welcome Helena! :-)
Great work. All are nice; but to me the third photo stands out. Great timing (silhouette) and framing. The dark mood with the falling snow makes it even better.
Lars, nice wideangle perspectives and portrait!
Rodluvan, great work with 85P!

@ Bif, the photo was shoot on the 17 March. And processed (PP) on the 3 April
Oh what the hell! I think I'm losing it. I thought we were in 2013 already for some reason. D'oh! Heh!
Bifurcator, many nice from Nagoya
Thanks - from the future apparently.

Wilhelm, nice B&W Volvo and "castle" in snow (IMG_8532).
Gregg, liked the wide open macro of flower, very nice background.
Rod, liked 85P shot of man in rain/snow (the first one, not the leather jacket man). Composition is very weird, leaving the space on "wrong" direction, but kind of liked it (mind trying to find reason why the space is there, what photographer tries to message with it?)
Helena, liked all of your photos, thou the lone tree (color photo, 4th) was the best.
Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 2/25 @ f/2.8, 1/2000s (larger)
Seems that the lens works better at f/2.8 at large distance bokeh, quality slightly better what C/Y 2.8/25 wide open, and much less vignetting than C/Y (or ZE@f/2.0).

Sorry for not commenting on each particular photo I liked, but this thread moves on too fast (with awesome quality control by the way )
Some 3D-ish shots from my trusty 2/35 ZF.2 on D700:

Samuli: That shot is beautiful by its simplicity. Colors, exposure, composition are all perfect. Very three dimensional.
Nickson: Very nice. Colors remind me of cross processing in film.
Donuss: Outstanding!!! That last shot is psychedelic!

Thank you, Edward. Indeed, this is the cross processing filter applied in PS.

Thanks all for kind comments, much appreciated.
Too much good here to comment all but here's a shortlist:
- First of all Helena, what a start! The shot of the small lonely tree makes me wanna convert from Samyang 35 to Zeiss 1.4. Welcome!
- Lars, your bridge shots is unusual for what I've seen from you before but very handsomely composed.
- Nickson, your last shot is a very balanced overexposure with a lot of 3D, I like that. Well done!
- LieutenantZ, old Europe is live and kicking, my last shot is inspired by your windows.
- Rödluvan, I hate you ;-) There's no way to compete. Below are initial efforts.
Here's the 85 Planar. First two wide open street shots @ F/1.4 and then a stopped down window shot with inspiration from LieutenantZ.
Is this happy trendy guy carrying a womens purse?

The more I think about it the less any other composition makes sense. The traditional composition of having the man look into the frame would have disrupted flow imo, even worse with putting him higher up (capturing his legs, but not his feet and no background skyline). I have a few photos with this composition and I like it as it emphasizes the background as well as the subject.
