Thanks joe88 Nice shot!
Excellent shot Joakim Great tonality in all the shots.
Ixania, I have not commented before, but I feel your contributions offer nothing to anyone, other than negative and scathing critique. You have offered nothing yourself, in the way a portfolio, your credentials, or a balanced perspective. I feel you must be a very unhappy or sad person, and I feel for you in this respect, but I feel you need to deal with some of your issues before you anonymously expound your emotions with no accountability.

No need to pay any attention to this sociopath. He either has no skills of his own or is terrified we won't all bow down to him if he shows anything. My vote is for the former. Ignore the twit.
Actually, let me correct that. Demeaning other people as he does IS his skill. Everybody tries to find a way to feel good about themself and this is it for him, pitiful as it is.
Nice shots Ryan! I like #2 ad 3 If you wish, you can borrow my ZM 35/2 until I find a buyer for it
Nice shots Rod I like the 50 lux, so much so I just received my 50 Lux Asph this morning, from a member on FM who kindly donated it, for an exchange of cash. I have sent my ZM 50/1.5 back, but as a follow up, with tech manager at Camera Clinic, I had to option to fully calibrate the lens to what ever I wished. So the lens would have been fine. Only downside was $300 later, and voiding the warranty on the lens, so I decided not to, and go for the 50 Lux Asph instead.
Charles, look forward to seeing your shots with the Lux 50 ASPH. I wish we could shoot them side by side to see how they compare. I expect you're going to have contrast more like the Zeiss lenses along with super sharpness.
Initial testing with 50 Lux Asph, the focus is very accurate wide open at MFD. Very sharp, and great contrast. Suprisingly heavier than I expected at 335gm, but an excellent lens. Will post some shots soon
Beautiful portraits Charles. I think I slightly prefer the color but that's because of the skin tone and hair which both look very natural. As expected, it's sharp as a tack. Fortunately, there's no way I can afford to spend 2X what I just paid for the V3 or I'd be looking for one right now.
Great tonality in all the shots.
