Would it be fair to say that once we shed the shackles of \"sharpness\" and \" optical focus\", we can move our photography forward ?
Wow, what a great morning, lots of stunning images.
Sometimes we lose focus that the lens and camera are just a tool. We are so consume by it that we forget what it is intended for. I have seen some well taken pictures even from an iphone.
Henry, if you are considering the 21mm Distagon for landscape photography then it is an obvious answer, yes. But if you are considering for close up photography you may want to consider Zeiss 100mm f2. I guess everyone is raving about the 3D-ness from the Zeiss lens. Looks like Mike may have also caught the Zeiss bug. I understood from others that the 100mm f2 ZE (canon) mount may be coming out soon. You may just want to wait for it, if not, the C/Y version is also pretty good too .. but you have to use it together with an adapter to mount the lens to your camera.
As for me, I am more concern with the purple fringing seen like in the 85L images taken at high contrast. It really irritates me to see the purple edges.
