I've gone through hundreds of pages of this thread over the years. I have to break it to you guys, the quality of the photography here is NOT due solely to the glass. I bet many of you could produce wonderful results with far inferior equipment. This thread is the best on the forum.
Of course, it has got me interested in Zeiss glass! I hope that 21mm f/2.8 or 25mm f/2 will be added to my lens collection in the next few years!
Dodged a storm and shot La Jolla tide pool with friend Peter Tellone ( http://petertellone.com/ ) last night. The storm brought us some gorgeous clouds and colors. Over the course of an hour or two, it felt like we shot a whole rainbow.

Here's a cross-post of today's shoot at the Cathedral of Saint Paul. Two 5-shot HDRs and two 3-shot panoramas all with the 15/2.8 Distagon. I love this lens . . .
Johnahill - Superb architecture works. My favs are, but not limited to the Underwriter building, and Lloyds of London reflection shots.
Bob - Wonderful use of 35 1.4. Just love that rendition. Also interesting to see how newspaper boxes look much nicer and less abused in MN. Beautiful church interior HDR stich works.
Grenache- Wow, beautiful beach series. Love the almost painting like rendition of beautiful clouds on #1 and #3.
