I took nearly hundred photos of ducks on our artificial lake (not that big) but as being stubborn by using ISO100 in the afternoon (near sunset) most of them were blury so I'm sharing just one long exposure, not wide open but I couldn't remember right now but it was probably f:11 or 16.


below: ISO50, 5 secs used a tripod

That's a great looking lens and it seems to perform very well...

Looks like a very fine lens - that crop is remarkable

This lens is really sharp as Paul stated!

No AF confirmation but I guess focus is right for this shot. Shot at f:5.6 with double flashes behind translucent umbrellas at each sides of me.

I'm using my Rolleinar 2.8/135 allways but this Zeiss is sitting on the shelf and as Rolleinar performs great I guess Zeiss needs to go. I'll fund the money for something else.
