All shots are wide open even it was quite sunny and hot that day (3:30pm, 32 Celsius).

This lens was just sitting on the shelf and then in the bag on this 45 person attended photographing site trip but thanks to my instincts I wanted to use something different than the Elmarit-R 2.8/35 and put it on my 5D. I used 2X angle finder to take as sharp images as I can and what can I say...this is a Zeiss, without any doubt Smile I loved the color tones, sharpness, and famous 3D effect was in all of the shots Cool I was thinking of selling it but unless I buy a faster long-Tele Zeiss this one is a keeper!

And special thanks for Atilla as he is the one who has pm'ed me the link of this babe Wink

Some details from a ship wreck waiting to be removed from the cost. I've talked with an old man and he told that this ship was carrying illegal passengers; there had been a storm and the crew left the ship and it sank; in time ship has came out and became a subject for the photographers. The place is Karaburun/Izmir which is the furthest soil point of Turkey on the west.



Some portrait shots, again just under the sun, I used Canon 550EX as fill light:



and here the shot that make me fell in love with this less, great color tones:



And the final one but this shot is not mine, a friend at the meeting has taken with my gear and I added it to show how Zeiss manages the color tones, adds its own flavor in photos and giving a unique 3D effect Smile She was there for posing and as there were a lot of guys pointing their lenses to her* all the times I prefered not to involve in the crowd.

Good shots really! I love the second to last (girl on chair near the sea).
The TT performs great.

Not my type of work (I want full control both in pose and light) and to be honest she was pretty but not good at posing.
