Carsten - Good luck with your 50 MP. I hope your stiff focusing would go away soon. Now out of curiosity, what was the determining factor for 50MP, not 50 planar for your shooting style ? I kind of imagined you might be a 50 Planar person, I don\'t know why. May be because you already have 100 MP.
Hah, that is funny. It surprises me that someone would think I am a 50 Planar person, not because I couldn\'t be, but simply because I value sharpness, wide open and up close (not macro region, just close). I think some, perhaps many of my shots do show that.
On the other hand, I have been very impressed by many 50 Planar shots posted here, and do see that it has a special look. If I cannot achieve something close to this with the 50MP, then I will probably add the 50 Planar. 50mm is my favorite focal length anyway, and I don\'t mind duplication here, especially for a lens with such a special look.
I did borrow alba63\'s 50 Planar for half a day of intense shooting, but I wasn\'t able to make sense of it, and was disappointed with many of the photos. Now I think that I missed something, perhaps shooting too close and too wide open, so I will need to give it another chance. I will probably borrow that copy again, once I have learned the 50MP, before buying my own.
But since I now have ZF 21 and ZF.2 MP 50/100, I think that either a 35mm or a 28mm would probably come first. After seeing Hrannar\'s results with the 28, I have become curious with that lens, so maybe that is next. Or maybe I should upgrade my ZF21 to ZF.2 first. I am always forgetting to change the lens setting.
But first, a pause. I have bought too much recently and need to spend time learning and settling.
