Those are great! I have the Samyang 8/3.5 in a-mount, so I have a hard time justifying the e-mount as well, but the small size is really tempting.

@Emacs the 3. one is awesome
@alan_m those carrots look quite tasty and you could sell that as a zeiss shot to most people
@sebboh my favourite is the first one
my PS is broken so some pictures without proper sharpening and framing:
edit: fixed
Nope. Because I also love my Summilux 50. But I did sell my soul to Leica. So, in order to do that, I had to start by buying it back from Zeiss...:-)
But, yes, I find the NEX-Elmar combo extraordinary. And thanks for the kind words. Coming from no less than you...

Hi Philber, these are great, but if you don't mind me saying, they're suffering a little from sharpening halos (white borders around the dark/bright edges).
You probably know more than I do, but where a detailed part I want to sharpen (and can't easily be isolated due to detail) is against a sky or other smooth background, in PhotoShop I select the sky with the magic wand at a large tolerance, invert the selection, contract the edge by 1px, and then can sharpen without haloing that edge transition. Not so easy if that edge is what you want to sharpen! In which case I go easy on the sharpening, and accept that the pic doesn't always need to be razor sharp!
I've noticed in the last few weeks that the sharpening is worse than it used to be, even for large-original sizes. That's why I'm using my 500px account.
