Ronny, also revisit your p.1051 #4 post from 21mm. I really like the contrast between clarity of ice block and dream of wave movement, great light and cloud formation are cherry on the top. great job.
Matthew - beautiful set. Enjoy them very much. This make me really missed MP100. I feel it might be more useful than 135 to me and as great as 135 minus little CA, but with much better size and weight. Especially consider pix is cheap now days that crop is making more sense than poorer performance zoom.
Great images in this thread, sorry I couldn't comment more individually. I feel Milvus are very attractive, weather sealing is very important feature in field, this reason alone worth the upgrade. I am surprised to see Zeiss left this out for OTUS.
Here are a few images with 135mm, all WO. Focus is not that difficult for me but more difficult than using Leica R glass. I wish the focus ring for tele lens is better damped than extreme smooth. It is very hard to control once subject in distance.
Back to mighty D700, I don't need 42M for preserving the memory. Sorry to bring down level of this thread with family snaps.

I love your photos Zhangyue, they are always a pleasure to look at. Ronny's iceland shots are killer, absolutely killer--that's the beauty of this form--you see everything from everywhere at a high level.
And if you feel bad about posting your kid, at least you're not posting your dog like me
Also, I like the softness and delicacy of your R80 shots. Interestingly, your 135 APO shots are much more contrasty, but the photos don't look clinical to me, even though the lens is extraordinarily sharp.
Zhangyue, now that I look at your photos on the last page. The last photo of the series. You posted another shot of your son standing beneath that tree, nearly the same photo, but with the R80, so not cropped as close. I'd be curious to see them side by side.
Michael- I always love your shots regardless of subject matter. Funny you mentioned D700. I still use it a lot for walk around. I don't need 36 mp for abandoned bicycle or trash I tend to shoot.

It is a place around my son's school, sometime, I will ask him for a short walk before school, he will agree if he is in good mood. Then I have chance to take the image at consistent location . I have similar shots with 90cron R, 90cron M Asph, 80lux R, 50lux R, 50lux ASPH, 75 Summarit M, maybe even S I can't remember. HaHa. I don't know if this is a good place for that. But I can tell you I personally feel 80lux is my favorite, with 90cron R as 2nd. Sharpness is always good, but not must for me, especially for portrait. 50lux R and 80lux R have some magic to my eyes. But somehow, Leica R fast glass can't keep their magic with high meg pix camera, instead of showing up optic flaw and downsize can't keep lens character IMO based on my unscientific observation. OTUS and 135APO or MP100 are more suit for 36M and above camera. Leica R glass and some old mandler M lens are gem that you will not see in the future from computer aid design. It is pity that people dump them to chasing optic flawless soulless lens.
Luka, thanks for your kind comments. I never tired to see 36M bike from you, the same for Jake's 42M file but seriously, D700 is THE best digital camera I ever used from any manufacture, no kidding. That is F6 or R10 in digital.
