Ryan, cool set from the construction site. I like construction sites for photography almost as much as I like ducks
Alax, great set from Austria!
Charles, really excellent sets with the 28 Cron! Love every single shot!

I got my ZM 25 and ZM 35/2 back from Zeiss yesterday and they did a good job repairing them.
They still remain problematic per se though. The ZM35 is fantastic stopped down - hands down the best 35mm prime I've used. It's actually the only 35mm prime that I'm happy with for landscape photography It is however also the worst one wide open. It feels silly carrying two 35mm primes, but the 35 Lux ASPH and the ZM 35 are good at different things.
The ZM 25 is also a great lens but it requires an external viewfinder. I really dislike having to mount and dismount viewfinders so I end up not using the lens.
Anyway, a couple of night shots using various lenses:
Alex great set! Shots 1 & 2 look like they could be in a James Bond movie
Charles very nice with the 28 Cron. The colors are excellent. My favorites are 3 & 4 from the first set
Luka nice night set. It's a pain in the ass but the results sure make it worth while. Great job. My favorite is the 90 Cron and the 28 Cron shot a close second. I love the stars these lenses so flawlessly produce.
Great pics all!
Luka, those night shots are awesomely spectacular!
Charles - great composition and colour!
Alex - lovely lovely pics! Great style
Ryan - very nice sets and the shots of your daughter are marvellous - i really like my 50 cron too - so much so i have kept it despite having received a 50 lux. Something about the colour is just remarkable with this lens.
Been busy with sports day photo taking for my 4 year old. MF does not agree with fidgety kids but it turned out ok for the better part. In truth, i just need like a few more years of practice to get MF speed top notch. Even 4 year olds can outrun my focussing, haha. At one point i was wondering whether i should have brought my d700 and 70-200VRII instead but it was just for a couple of seconds.
A couple of snaps
kid, you gotta try harder:::the lecture:::90 APO

Here's something from outside my regular breakfast stop
double vision:::marina bay | Singapore
I have a query for you gurus - i recently had this propblem with 2 of my san disk cards - horizontal lines that randomly appear - They are not the same each time and they strike about 5% of my shots. The funny thing is if i recopy or retransfer those afflicted files, the lines go away! I am using LR and wondered if it could be LR or my desktop PC. I doubt if it's the camera since the lines do go away and the pic looks fine. Here's a crop showing the lines. Sometimes, the line is coloured (like purple) or other times, it's just a black line. Help! I have tried using different card readers and it's the same thing. Am using a windows 7 system. help!
LL, Ryan, KL and Juano, thanks guys
KL, Shot #5, double vision is superb!! Excellent shots. Love the shots with the 90 Cron APO With respect to SD cards, if the problem remains with only these 2 cards, I would use them elsewhere. I suspect there are manufacturing faults that do crop up, and if any faults do show up, I would not use the cards again, or near new I have them replaced under warranty. To date I have only had one problem with the latest ultra fast cards, 45mb/s. Having reverted back to the 30mb/s, no problems since.
Hugo, great set of shots!!! Excellent portrait compositions in #4 and 5. Love the colours in all the shots
It's a long weekend and decided to get out.... I went really far for these images - about 400 metres from the house We're fortunate to have a nice wooded area that's a conservation area with wetlands, water, lots of trees and nature nearby. And spring has finally sprung here. It was a gorgeous 24˚C day. Not humid and nice for a walk.
The yellow and green saturation on the M9 is insane. The trees were rendered as a fluorescent green and I had to pull back saturation on some of these between minus 20 to 30 in the yellows and greens.
M9 & ZM50P for all but the last which was the ZM35C, which I managed to get to flare. I kind of like it - it reminds me of mist rising in a rain forest, except it's not a rain forest...
