The out of focus rendering is very pleasing, I am delighted to see such from a focal length of only 35mm Shocked

This lens would make snapshots into works of art. And if the retail price $ 1,843 is true, then this is actually not that expensive at all. However, the price is already similar to that of Canon's 35mm f/1.4 L so I'm not sure if I should invest in one. For one thing, there's no authorized service center for CZ.

I like the portrait shot too. The yellow car provided good contrast to the subject Smile

Thanks for sharing and making me drool over this lens. He he.

karabud these are insanely sharp and beautiful color. however, in the first pic the building to the right of the subject building seems to have a large amount of distortion. can you see that curve in your version? it looks like the pic was taken with a 20mm lens. is that typical?

The Distagon 1.4/35 has a low distortion, as you can check in Zeiss' data sheet:

http://applications.zeiss.com/C12578620052CA69/0/1C09E8D38F338457C12578690028E4CD/$file/distagon1-4_35mm_e.pdf



The distortion peak, reached at the edge of the frame, is of 2% of the image height, which is close to the lowest that you can get from a retrofocal wide angle design.
2% of image height (at the frame edge; in the middle it is lower) means that in 90% of common photographical situation, the distortion is irrelevant.
Sure, in extreme situations, such as photographing a building from up close, you can detect some, but in order not to, you should use a non-retrofocal wide angle,
and a nearly perfect one at that, such as the Biogon 2/35, whose distortion stays at 0% for most of the frame :

http://applications.zeiss.com/C12578620052CA69/0/8B0311D44FCD838CC125786400471C37/$file/biogon2_35mm_zm_e.pdf
