That cypress shot (last one) is fantastic, very painterly and moody. Should look awesome on photo rag or canvas.

+1. Very nice. A standout image that should be shown off.

Hey guys... Just won my first piece of CZ glass on eBay the other day. C/Y 50/1.7 and I noticed that there wasn't a whole ton of samples here. At least in the last 20 pages... lol
Does anyone have some from Canon 5D/1Ds and the 50/1.7?
I'm looking forward to having a good quality normal MF prime. Had to sell my Mir-1V as it just wasn't "normal" enough on the FF body.
You made a good choice. Not too many lenses that offer better value for the price IMO. I only sold mine because I have quite a few fast standard lenses, and so I was using mainly it stopped down for landscape, but found the 35-70/3.4 more versatile in that regard.

Oh how I desire a Vario-Sonnar 35-70! lol
Too rich for my blood right now.... but one day maybe.

Thanks Kosmoskatten and Helimat!
My pleasure. The problem is, your image is giving me second thoughts about selling my Contax 80-200/4, and I am supposed to be trimming down my kit.

Yum. I am emptying a bottle of Glenfarclas 21 year at the moment. Very nice scotch and the price isn't too crazy either.

Anyone done a comparison between the Zeiss 50 1.7 and the Yashica 1.7? I've got the Yashica and I'm wondering if its worth "upgrading". The Yashicha is quite good in the center, but suffers at the edges.

Of the Zeiss threads, I think this is the best one.
Mostly because of the 35-70!

This doesn't answer your question but I have the Contax and ML 50/1.4's and the Contax is sharper in every respect, coatings are better too. Otherwise rendering is about the same. Maybe the ML 50/1.7 is the same or similar compared to the Contax. For the relatively low cost I would buy the Contax and see for myself.
