Nice Bob! Are all those shots wide open?
Not quite. The first is either f/4 or 5.6. The next two are at f/1.4. So far I'm finding that I can achieve critical focusing better at f/1.4 in the field/handheld but I need to practice more.
Splendid set, as ever, Bob! Had you started with the CV 35 f1.2 earlier, that would definitely have switched me away from the Zeiss. But now that it is supposed to arrive any day... though I shall be trying a Summicron f:2.0, should temptation get the better of sanity...
Phillip, another brilliant set! Just one question: your third shot shows a magenta fringe on the top. Which lens and camera did you use?

@philber: none of those pictures is mine, i should have quoted them more carefull
philippe – the picture you're referring to is mine. it was "taken" with the contax g 45/2. what you are seeing is actually not magenta fringing, but simply vignetting added in post to a deep blue sky. the shot is actually a stitch of 50(?) some shots and the area in question is actually from the center of some of the frames not the edges (the image is a crop of the final stitch).

Phillip - all great shots. It's not easy to get good aerial shots, particularly from airliners, and that one over Paris is one of best I've seen.
