Great shots Bif. I especially like the cappuccino!! An earlier quote by you...why people will pay thousands for Zeiss models over other manufacturers....I have to disagree...here are just a couple shots with the C/Y 50 1.7(cheap!!), compared to the other 50\'s, and I think it is sharper and has more micro-contrast than the C/Y 50 1.4MMJ it replaced. In fact, I think it is just as sharp as my Canon 50L!!

Yeah but look at that bokeh... That\'s probably why it\'s cheap. I have the 1.7 too and it\'s a job to use it in a way that the bokeh doesn\'t take over the image. Anyway I meant on average... There\'s no denying that CZ lenses are one of the most expensive line of lenses there are and it\'s also true that they hold their price better than other makes. That\'s all I really meant.
In the particular case of the 50/1.7 I would rather have the Nikkor 1.4 for a little bit less or the Cannon FL 58/1.2 for the same price as the Zeiss.
