I have the Contax 50P and recently bought the ZE MP. My wife usually fights me on lens purchases, because she is the more practical one. I told her I would likely sell the 50P to restore some cash to the wallet. She asked to see images from both. I showed her some. She replied, "you can't sell that lens. the two are totally different in how they look."
If she can see it...
I love both, use both. I prefer the 50MP for its versatility and macro capability. The 3D and subtlety are better on the 50P. It is not as large a difference as between the two ZE 35s, but they do differ.

I asked about the rangefinder planar, which like the MP has a maximum aperture of f2. I am aware of how the contax planar renders as I have used the 1.4 and owned the 1.7, but that is not a relevant issue to me.
very few people have owned the ZM planar AND the MP it seems.

That size you just changed is perfect, stunning! Which lens did you use for these panos?
Thanks everyone...the seattle sunrise shot with the space needle was 5 vertical 100mm makro planar shots. The seattle sunset with the vivid clouds was 9 vertical 100mm makro planar shots. The night shot was 3 horizontal cy 50mm 1.4 shots. All stitched in CS5 photomerge

These are awesome Mike. I remember that day that the weather was so fantastic here, but I could not get away to get out and take some pics myself.

Ronny, is Zeiss 1.4/85 that hard to focus on fast(er) moving subjects?
Seriously, how do you like this lens after using it for a few weeks?
Few shots from last summer.
Beautiful shots and country Jako! Wish I lived in a place like that. I also love your PP, its very natural and pleasing
Jako: zeiss 85 and 100 MP is not very easy to focus on fast-moving subjects .. unfortunately
But then I just love how this lens draw
think it is very special and is very happy with it ..
regret not a second that I got it ..
Hold it as one of my best zeiss ..
100 MP is the favorite I think ..but that's because I like macro and flowers
Have 21mm 35 F2 50 MP 100 MP ( 85 1.4 P )
Upload some pictures from it
Great shot from you
Great shot user222
Thank you, rirakuma. These shots were from Czech Republic I visited last year. It's a great country, people and beer.
Ronny, your flower shots with 100 MP are always pleasure to see, and now you added interesting 1.4/85 portraiture and a model!
I was curious how the 1.4/85 fits in your collection as we had the same Zeiss glass. For a while I was tempted to get Voigtländer SL II Heliar Classic 1.8/75mm, but its production never started, at least not yet.
I find DoF on Zeiss 100MP very narrow and focussing wide open, especially hand held a bit difficult. How the 1.4/85 compares to it with its focus shift? I saw many outstanding and sharply in focus shots with this lens, so I guess it's not impossible to nail it perfectly.
I recently had a little fun with a Zeiss 100 MP, and its a lovely portrait lens. I took it to Lake Tahoe while visiting for some wedding planning, here is my fiance at Sugar Pine.
