From my experience the "green fringing" is pretty common in zeiss lenses.

In this particular case, I would suspect the Kodak first. I have the SLR/n and it does similar things, which I don't see with my D3.

Paul, other than to yourself, would you attribute the vibrance and 3D effect of these wonderful shots more to the lens or the camera? (asking in part because I came very close to buying a similar body recently offered on the B&S forum).
I'm impressed with the continued beauty you tease out of street scenes in NYC (it's becoming your signature work).

Paul's street shots sure have pop, but I think they all have a purple cast. Strange colors.

The lens plays the big part...
One of the reasons why I keep the Planar 100, even though I have Contax N85 ...
Kodak camera is not really user-friendly compared to modern cameras, but the results are just fantastic...
I now have 4 of them....

I haven't figured out how to shoot with correct white balance yet...
And, I don't know much about post processing....
It didn't bother me much ... I actually liked them in some cases.... that is, until you mentioned it....

ht 77- Great close up shot with Contax 50 1.7

It's been awhile since I posted a Contax C/Y image... The Contax 35-135mm F3.3-4.5 Sonnar Vario on the Canon 1Ds Mark III -
A review of the Contax 35-135mm is also available here - http://www.pebbleplace.com/Personal/Contax_35-135_Vario_Sonnar.html

akul, I hope you like your Distagon as much as I do, it really delivers in spades. Very nice 3D on the building waterfront shot, gives me vertigo!...
the church in my image is a Shia mosque in the upper Suru Valley in India, it's actually very stable despite appearances and the rumbling glacier (!). I lost the highlights sadly, huge scene DR. best regards, philip.

John - Love that color and texture.
Philip - Yes, I love my distagon 28 f2.8. It is very small and light compare to the Z siblings, with still the signature Zeiss rendtition. It is also very strong in close to medium distance objects. For long distance ( buildings ) I have not had too much success, but I have not tried thoroughly to form any opinion on that part. I was happy to see how beautifully it handled landscape on your shot. I should bring it and try nature shooting next time I go away. I also just got NEX and I am excited to try it out with NEX.

akul, yes, you should do so, I positively encourage you, as most older regular usage CZ lenses are fabulous at infinity!
I am always interested in lenses that 'review experts' either do not like or hedge their conclusions about, and this certainly happened to the Z series version of the 28, the 28/2. I also feel that 28mm is a paramount focal length for wide angle shooters, it's the 'normal' wide angle if you will.
I came across the now-fading thread in which actual users (people like us) were showing images shot with the 28/2 and they were remarkable! Of course, the reviewers are after some kind of sterile perfect measurement lens heaven, and downgrade anything as crass as curvature of field - the very 'fault' that I believe adds the depth you see so easily in the 28mm Distagons - old and new...the thread is here:
https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/954714/0
Where the 28mm works is with subjects with inherent shape to central objects that curve off around the subject. To be honest I have never seen anything do it so well - must not be very observant, I guess, and ready to be shot down - hah.
Perhaps CZ were aiming for this effect, and the MTF is pretty dramatic for both old and new Distagons out past the central part of the image, curvature showing up, I presume. But what a majestic centre resolution, much stronger than the ZE35/2...I really like how their lenses have different personalities.

I think it comes down to wanting optical perfection or unmeasurable character. I agree how its interesting how the two lenses, not too far apart in focal length, have priorities placed so differently. I'm definitely a fan of the Zeiss 28/2, so much so that I really don't want to settle for the Nikon 28/2 AI over it (ha, settle! The 28/2 AI(s) deserves better than that, I guess). Its siren song has captured me.

Is there anyone that has used both, the new zeiss ze 35 f2 and the c/y 28 f2.8 and can compare them. I have the 35, but I'm looking for a wider look for mostly landscapes. Are they too similar? jd
