Alex - very nice. Is this the new one?
Almass, yes. This is new E60. Now I'm trying to make a new metal protective ring for rear lens, to replace the rubber ring which touches the mirror
Few months back I took this shot to exacerbate mid/outer circle distortions and loss of sharpness of Summicron-R 35 E55 lens. It appeared fairly bad at close distance with no lens corrections applied. http://www.kozera.ca/photos/images/D8E_2456_640.jpg
Here are 5 images taken with my tripod mounted Leica 280mm f4 Apo Telyt lens and my Fujifilm X-E1 camera. All images processed through LR4.4. The last 2 images show some lens flare near the bottom of the images.
Alex, I like the 50lux E60 portrait shot of your daughter. Very lovely. I feel this E60 has a 'house' rendering with 80lux in right hand. It has something my 50lux V1 lacking.
Again two more from 80lux.
I have found that give it a little bit distance, 80lux getting noticeable improvement on sharpness. (become very good) But at the same time, it also loss its charming to me. At 2-3M, its smoother rendering still can be seen, but once after 4-5M, It is getting close to other fast 85mm I see.
So, My usage for this lens will be use it as close as possible to let the "Magic" flow.

Thanks for pointing out D800/D800E colour shift differences. I wasn't aware of it but will have to look it up.
hmm.... i don't see it (though that wouldn't be the first time). all i see is vignetting on a wall that has color everywhere (i also see some aberrations of course).

I think (might be wrong) that this wall should be white and I dont know why vignetting should have.. colors? Some time ago I noticed color shift on some photo with sky, regular magenta/green kind.
Maybe its not color shift, but it surely doesnt look right.

the wall might well be white, but it has color even in the center in this photo. color shift should have different colors in opposite corners due to the bayer filter. if all the corners appear to be the same color it is just vignetting amplifying a general color caste.
Mescalamba & sebboh: the wall is actually off white green (1"-2" under the thermostats shows the actual colour. I have RGB code for the paint, but I am too lazy right now to go downstairs to check it)
PS.
Found this shot taken in a daylight and displaying wall colour a bit better.
