MichaD - 2nd shot is great. Love the way how sun is hitting the background.
kaycephoto - Nice composition. Two trees in the middle add the sense of scale.
cipsaz - I use Live View whenever I can. Even without tripod, it helps me getting the focus on where I want to. Of course, it does not work too well with moving targets. Other thing is to see if there is any consistency in when focus confirmation lights up. There is usually a slight slack, study where you get the focus within the slack. 2/35 has thick focus zone, so it is not too bad. Again, I don't shoot moving subject often with MF lens. Rodluvan definitely got that secret figured out.
freziess - Nice color and contrast with ZM25.
roguecoolman - Wow, that is a stunning B/W shot. Great composition, texture. Love it.

Dalmas, Nice train shots!
MichaD, love the silky water effect.
Alpenglowing, congrats for your new 85/1.4. Excellent start!
Kevin Chung, beautiful almost monochromatic rendition in color
Cipsaz, the last one is my favourite.
Frezeiss, faultless rendering from the ZM 25. Exceptional as usual!
Roguecoolman, love that b/w shot, dramatic skies, and silvery tonality. Very filmlike!
Akul, excellent work with the 21! Perfect exposure and framing.
Lars, where do you find all these beautiful flowers? Love the separation between the bright flowers and the darker background.
Uzay, second and third are just stunning!
Jim Schemel: Very nice composition with the red door.
Michael: Beautiful shots of the stream in forrest.
alpenglowing: Nice first shot with the 85/1.4
Kevin: I like that shot of the powerlines.
cipsaz: The last shot of the couple is really good.
frezeiss: Nice texture in the last shot. I like that.
roguecoolman: Great composition and b&w conversion.
akul: The second shot is amazing.
Lars: Another beautiful shot and great composition.
akul: The middle shot is my favorite. Great shot.
edwardkaraa: I wouldn't worry about those small blemishes. Looks like a great car
Rodluvan, usually I can say why I like image, this time I can't, I looked very long time (and again) and for reason or another I don't know why I like your "21@4" (page 539), even it has all the clutter on "roof" but for reason or another I want to stare it few more seconds each time I see it.
Lars, liked both flowers on page 539 (1st: really beautiful usage of bokeh's image edges, 2nd: color contrast and usage of empty space)
MichaD, 2nd one of the stream is nice, liked how you used the glow of sun on background forest and it's contrast to streams coldness.
cipsaz, liked how you used bokeh in the last one of the "children statues on the bench"
roguecoolman, nice usage of the fence shadows and "trashy" beach on background
Uzay, 2nd shot with one violet flower is magnificent, really good looking bokeh (well structured but not having any annoyances)
Edward, nothing what little wash and color wax wouldn't fix I had to check from EXIF have you found some secret mode from GXR "make dynamic range ultra small and emulate film tones", but seems you are back on scanning film
I have been stuck on shooting f/2.8 with both Planars (not a bad thing, really makes one to learn all characteristics) and I kind of wish that there would be lighter f/2.8 versions of some lenses, but without vignetting (impossible I know). For 99% of my shooting I don't need wider aperture than f/2.8. Sample of "enviromental portrait" with Carl Zeiss Planar T* 1,4/50 @ f/2.8, 1/1600s, ISO 100:

How very nice of you to say!
Here's another one from same location, not as clean composition, but I like the rendition of the lens in these circumstances.
