Phillip - your shots from the airplane are really impressive. I particularly like the second.
Bob - completely wonderful from Wisconsin. The second one, with the tree is fantastic.
Wilhelm and TeamSK - wow to both.
Here are a couple from yesterday with my brand new Nex 7. Philippe is right - it is a very different camera from the 5N. I have a lot to learn! These are both with my Zeiss/Jena 75 biotar. The biotar is rather difficult for me to focus.
From all that I've read over the last couple of years, it seems that, on NEX, the CV 12 has less color shift than the CV 15, and the CV 15 has a little better edge detail. I'm running CornerFix either way, so I went with the CV 15. I also run CornerFix on the ZM 35/2 on my 5N. The bottom right corner gets particularly shifty.
I've only read a couple of grumbles about someone thinking their lens might be lacking in even sharpness across the frame, possible decentering. Actually far less sample variation complaining than for most lenses. I highly recommend the lens!
This album was from my first day out with the lens and I was using RawTherapee for processing. It showed a horrendous amount of CA that I tried to correct but then I switched to AfterShotPro (Bibble) and the CA went away. However these images are still the ones I processed with RawTherappee so ignore most of that color shift in the sky behind the trees: http://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/105385121146604084854/albums/5669527405165179345
Seldom do it but this one needs a repeat. This is art. Composition is perfect. Woman and pose is perfect. PP is, yeah perfect too. I'd be proud of that one. 10 points partitura, hat off.

Philippe, not that I own or tried the ZM35 but I would not worry about corners or fringing given that e.g. Biogon 28 perform so well real-world. Websized images can tell a lot, but how do you down-size?
If you want to have skilled people (and an occasional amateur like me) take a look on a shot dropbox is really an easy way of share an image full size to make opinions more precise. No email addresses or anything needed, it's a well-proven (and silent - and free) app well worth considering.
Wfrank and partitura: real exceptional pictures, even for this thread.
Thanks for the comments, everyone :-).
Day three of our trip was absolutely fantastic, so i will have to split it as i don't want to post more than 4 images on one page.

I have to say that the level of pictures posted here by you guys is only getting higher!
Great, great images everybody, impossible to list the best, there is so many
I'm just working on my shots taken today, last chance to photograph
the blooming orchards of Central California, almost all gone already...
Taken with my favorite lens - CV 125 macro.

For anyone in the market, Amazon has been having a few ZA 24's come in as open box warehouse deals. There was one listed last night for $910 (it's gone this morning, tho).
Thanks. I got one but it was $945. I'll have to see if I like it much better than the FD 24/2.0 I have. Otherwise it will go back to Amazon (since it's not a new lens I won't feel bad returning it, otherwise I'd only return it if it were defective/soft). I was going to post a shot with the FD24 but after seeing all the beautiful pictures recently posted I think I'll hold off until the ZA comes in and I can post some comparisons.
Thanks all for sharing many great shots!
as a professional researcher of historical thought, I basically lurk through centuries.
The E 24mm 1.8 has merit for visiting museums, wide enough for large works in close quarters and pretty fast for low light work.
first two taken at the art museum in Cincinnati at f1.8 (Berlin here I come & Cleveland too)

i'm really gladthat i had the g45 with me, when shooting you don't notice any difference from the kit, so i took too many pictures with that, but most of the better pictures i shot with the zeiss.
I highly recommend the lens!
