te4o:I like your 3rd pic from the ZE21. The slightly strong vignetting in that one gives it some drama and appeal IMHO.
Lars, I think the copper thing on the boat is for making plum brandy - possibly VATfree (international waters?)

Peter: the subtle grain in the BW adds to the mood...nice...
Brandon: Surprised to read about that [pleasantly so]. Thanks.
Lars: I love the shot with the slightly purple/magenta background. It makes the warm
hued subject pop more [along with the shallow DoF].
Ulff: Very nice shot and very good control over the exposure.
cyra: BIF with MF glass - respect !
dj_dunzie and to all the 100MP owners/posters who replied: Thanks for sharing your experiences. For me, the 100/2 CY is in one way easier to focus because of the subject size in the VF. However at f/2 and for portraits [if not nicely lit], then I find that I have to bracket focus or concentrate extra to get an in focus shot. And this if for co-operating subjects [family!]. I have not tried for fast moving subjects [birds, kids or F1 cars!]
With 21mm, the size of distant objects in the VF is small, but the smooth focus ring and its deep DoF makes life very easy. Somehow I have also not had a problem with my keeper rate wide-open for close-ups.
With the 50MP, at distances less <2m, I can manage reasonably well. Between 2 to 30m,I have to really work for it. I don\'t wear glasses and I use the Eg-S screen. Have crudely checked my diopter settings but may have to fine-tune it again maybe with Live View.
! Thanks, didn\'t know that
