I'm no English expert either, but I think it may (might? OUR language is HARD!) be the subjunctive tense, in the same way that (not many) people say "were I to go there, I would...". Of course I am probably wrong in my assertion.
I have to say that it is relevant that Scandinavians, if you don't mind that regional group label, have such a good command of English that you would ask such a thing. Not many non-native English speakers, nor many native English speakers, would recognise it... Please note, as someone raised in the United Kingdom, I use their spelling of recognise.
Lovely images again, as usual, on this thread. I don't post much on this thread anymore, due to the high standard I have to attempt to meet
Snowboarder - great presence of mind, to be ready to do photography when para-sailing!

You're exactly right! Thank you, now I know what it's called... and yes, English is hard. I mean, just changing the emphasis on single word in a sentence changes the meaning completely.
Well, you English "natives" should try German or French. From a Scandinavian perspective English is in many respects a simplified language (I dont think we mind that much being grouped in this context). Whereas the Germans of course adds stuff. And French is of latin origin making almost nothing recognizable, like Spanish or Italian :-)
Sry, very OT. Amazing para-shot snow, and Jaakko, never commented the boat door a while back which I really like too.

I haven't noticed any color shift, but probably there is some. I'd not worry at all about that if you don't shoot very evenly lit, white surfaces. Even the ZF 35/2 gave some magenta shift on the D700, mind you.
The common corner issues with smearing is probably only curvature of field because of the thickness of the sensor filter, and thus it will disappear almost completely with stopping down. From everything I've seen of the CV 35/2.5, it should be a great lens. The only reason I got the Summarit was because of a good deal. My plan is to sell the CV 35/1.2 and the Summarit and get a Summicron ASPH instead, later on.
That said, I'd keep the CV 35/2.5 if I was you.
Edit: Hmmm, english. Why do you say "if I were you" when normal grammar says "I was"? ...Show more →
You use the subjunctive case whenever you're talking about something that is false to fact.
Even the ZF 35/2 gave some magenta shift on the D700, mind you.
They make for a nice photo subject though.
