tivv - I try to avoid commenting portraits OR processed photos - however I liked what you had done on post processing to enhance the skin texture on this one, great work!
Ronny - enjoyed the two dragonflies picture (on large size in Flickr, on forum the wing patterns weren't at their best)

Talking about trees - few "cheat" photos (took 3-6 frame panoramas to "enlarge sensor"):
Carl Zeiss APO-Sonnar T* 2/135 @ f/2, 2.5 seconds, ISO 100

Ulff - Great scene, love it
Dalmas - love those colors
Nibutto - wonderful detail and I know what you mean about 'makro'!
Samuli - You're making it hard to resist that 135!
Luka - lovely fall scene . . . Catskills?
Ronny - glorious as always
Paul - love the composition
When I first ventured into Zeiss-mania, the 35/2 was the first lens I ever purchased. Certainly not the last. I eventually sold that lens for the 35/1.4. However, I always had some regret as I loved the look of the smaller slower f/2. Well, I recently sold the 35/1.4 and purchased the 35/2 which I hope to use on a new a7R when it arrives. In the meantime, I went for a short walk and snapped a few images with my 5DIII. I just love the look of this lens.

I can see why; those are very nice!
I've always been unsettled with my choice of the 1.4/35mm. I think I may appreciate the 3d rendering that the 2/35mm seems to deliver more than I like the gorgeous bokeh of the 1.4/35mm. Also, the 2/35mm has a warmer cast than the 1.4/35, right?
I believe it is a bit warmer. Now I have to fiddle with the profile settings for this lens in lightroom. I like the distortion correction but I like retaining the vignetting when shot wide open.
Bob, great utilization of 2/35's characteristics!
EDIT: U.C. - marvellous landscapes! First 3 were very inspiring, thanks for posting.
I have been shooting almost 100% with polarizer filters at 2013 summer. Mostly because I can avoid some time wasted on photo processing (less tweaking with the damn sliders in Apple Aperture), but also for controlling amount of skylight reflected from the forest undergrowth.

Thanks! I really love what you did with that last wide panorama. I will have to experiment with something similar once I pick up the 100mm f/2 in the not so distant future.
