Phillip Reeve gave us images, in post #17 at last page:
images:
"a horse"
and
"a landscape"
Philip, that's a good demonstration of pros and cons with the Contax Zeiss G 45/2; the ho-hum bokeh wide open and then the wonderfully detailed landscape. I used mine for panos mainly, wonderful resolution!
I like your landscape image.
From my Wales 2012 set... I was very much impressed with the rendering of Zeiss ZF series on NEX 3. Color was very pleasant and bokeh, as has already been mentioned here umpteen times, is quite sublime.

Freaklikeme - please post more pen-f lens pictures! Rare and interesting lenses.
Will do. I'll try and find some more interesting subjects than my family dogs today. Like other people's dogs.
I thought it would be harder to find than it was. I've seen more of these pop up lately than I have of the Rokkor 135/2, for example. It seems to run in cycles. Maybe there's only about eight good copies available, and when one gets sold, it starts a domino effect among the seven other owners.
Got the Metabones/Conurus Canon EF->NEX adapter back from Hong Kong today, upgraded to v2 firmware, and finally all my Canon mount lenses work perfectly on the NEX 5N.
I will be posting a full review of this adapter sometime soon, after having had more of a chance to play with it, but thought it would be fun to show two samples from today.
By the way, I haven't been getting much feedback on this thread and if anyone has anything to say about any the images I've been posting, even if it's constructive criticism, I'd be grateful.

I like your second image a lot. I think the first image could possibly be improved in PP (pulling back some of the highlights, adjusting the contrast), but I also think the intended focus is a little unclear: were you looking to focus on the foreground, the doorway, or beyond the doorway?

Which just goes to show. I really like the first image. The second image is pretty, but to me, cliched.

i think thats a donkey, not a horse
i have to agree, i don't linke the G45's bokeh @f/2.0, @f/2.8 i think its usually quite fine which is why i seldom use f/2.0.

i quite like this shot of marin headlands(?). another time of day, maybe sunset, might work out better for matching the wall painting to the view. a squarish crop of just the doorway wall might be cool too.

I took my 5N + 18-55 out on a field trip with my cowboy friend and grabbed a few images. It was a dingy gray day, so all in BW.
