Nice shots, Carsten, they show very well the personality of this excellent lens!.
I love the soft bokeh of #1, and in general the colour and sharpness.
The 40D is a good companion for it!.
Thanks for sharing!

Chromatic aberrations seem virtually non-existent even in the high contrast situations. That's very good.

So how does it feel the automatic aperture?
It shold be possible to also use TP (time priority) with this lens, isn't it?
That would be a great benefit over using a Contax version with adapter (I am thinking about live events)

I don't understand the Nikon thing - is there someone else (or the self timer) who took your picture using the Planar on a Canon?

[ChrisLilley]

The samples here give a nicely crisp, detailed result with good saturation and microcontrast in the foreground or subject areas. No obvious signs of abberations, at the sizes posted here. There is perhaps a little of the 'Zeiss blue/gray' colour cast (compared to Nikkors).

The out of focus areas are not bad, mostly there is little to no edge doubling or 'squirminess'. OOF highlights seem fairly well controlled.

I'd be interested to see a comparison with the Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 AIS or the AF-D (in manual mode).

Carsten, you have to be pleased with the 50e results, very nice!

Fine samples of a clearly magnificent lens Carsten.
@Chris = I have a Cosina made Voigtlander which is one of my best lenses and rivals anything I have by nikon for quality and build.
