You don't say. That ZM25 certainly is very sweet-looking... though if/when I'm in the market for another ZM I'll probably be eyeing the 21 instead.
The ZM 25 isn't the resolution king, but has a very even performance across the frame. It also has a fantastic bokeh for a lens this wide and the rendering is quite smooth. The ZM 21 has a superlative center resolution but goes down a bit in the corners (still very good though) and delivers more punch. Basically they are very different lenses in terms of drawing style.
Charlie, agree with Edward, the first shot is the best showing the relation of the owner with the car.
Edward, nice shot of the Eiffel Tower. nice framing.
Couple of quick photos from a casual morning walk.
my sister and her new grandson: L1016923-2 by unoh7, cv 35/1.4 @ f/1.7 This lens really shines on the m9. In general, my new 35/2 biogon has me expecting dead straight lines, but in many shots the cv's distortion is either not disracting, or possibly even enhancing, as it is to my eye in the shot above.. Like a vignette, which many good shooters like to add PP for charm (myself included, --but I try to keep it sublte-ish.), soft curves in the beams can frame the subjects in a nice way. My copy appears well calibrated. Huge curved focus field wide open, but within that field, it resolves well. At f/8 the field is near flat and crisp landscapes can be shot. If distortion really is an issue, it seems to correct without too much pain in LR. Next page I'll put up a set of live cajun music, shot wide open in a dim tacoma bar. :0
Thank you Charlie for your comments and everyone for the likes.
Joakim, nice shot at the station. I love station shots as they show many people each doing different things. Congrats for the MP! Show us some film shots!
