Woke up this morning from a dream where I had convinced myself to buy the FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA. Totally crazy...now I want it in my wakefulness (my FE 55mm 1.8 is plenty good)!


David, get it. The Planar 50 1.4 ZA is crazy good. Better than 55 1.8.

some snaps earlier, I'm really liking this zeissness feel again, whitebalance as shot. It does vignette a bit, but probably not enough to worry about. 100-300

David, get it. The Planar 50 1.4 ZA is crazy good. Better than 55 1.8.

Really appreciate the recommendation! I need to sort through my values to see if that's a lens I'm OK with investing in. I miss having the Otus 55mm, which is about as perfect a lens I've ever touched. The Planar 50 1.4 ZA may not have the same quality bokeh and could be a let down for me, but the contrast, sharpness, and CA-correction seems to be near Otus-like from what I've seen.

Also, I'm mulling the notion of having a pair of 1.4 primes to walk around with for street shooting. In that case I could see myself shooting with a 35mm 1.4 ZA and 85mm 1.4 GM as a pair. But, if I just go with only one 1.4 prime, then the 50mm will probably be the pick.

Finally, I may continue down the path I started where I focus solely on landscape-optimized primes (Loxia) and skip the fast stuff. This is hard to do, though...bokeh is like a drug. :p

Yep! I got a taste of it with the 85 GM and am hooked.

Charlie, the 100-300 is looking great. It has the nice Zeiss pop.

For fans of fine art black white, check out Jay Vulture's work. Yeah I guess that's his last name. Pretty amazing work.

Thanks guys. I slept in and arrived about 15 mins after I was planning. When I was parking the car there was steam coming up from the water, by the time I got set up it was only happening in the distance. Gutted
