Very good images.
Look a little cool to me - is that from PP or does the lens always show that.

it's a nice focal length on a NEX, well, I think it is anyway. I use my Tamron 90 a lot on the NEX, and I'd like a good 100mm. the Sonnar looks very good indeed. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

Thanks guys. The cool WB is from post processing, I think I went too far on a couple of the images. The lens itself is typically warm Zeiss. _________________ Follow this link for my FOR SALE list (partially updated 19.11.2015) |

I'm not saying that these images are anything special, they are not. I was just shooting away, to get to know the lens a bit. But what I did learn and what I was hoping to show was the following:
- the lens is extremely sharp ( picture 1)
- the lens handls flare very well (the last picture)
- the bokeh is smooth (flower pictures)
- high contrast (bridge) _________________ Follow this link for my FOR SALE list (partially updated 19.11.2015) |

I do not want to take sides in those 'friendly' disputes but just to add my 2c. Digital photography often times requires at least basic PP (curves, brightness, contrast) to get the image closer to reality (or reality as seen by the photographer). All the more with old manual lenses. These pictures could be easily edited into more contrasty and/or sharper but that would defy the purpose of this forum - to show what the old lenses are capable of. For that, we need unprocessed pictures so as not to be biased by someone's photoshop skills. I'm sure, most members here do not put into their personal portfolios what they post here (although many times, the pictures are great enough for that even without PP). I see some pictures in this thread that are very nice (and will be even better with some basic PP) _________________ In my bag: Fuji X-T20, Samyang 12/2, Voigtlander Ultron 28/2, Voigtlander Nokton Classic 40/1.4, Mitakon Speedmaster 35/0.95, 7artisans 50/1.1, Canon LTM 100/3.5, Canon LTM 135/3.5. www.vh-photo.tk |

The lens looks quite capable! I mean, after all it IS a Sonnar design. What is the 'multiplier' of the 100mm lens? In other words, what does it become 'equivalent' to from a 35mm system perspective? Is it 200mm, or something else? Just a curiosity.
The flare resistance is astonishing. _________________

It's 150mm on the NEX. I agree, the flare resistance is incredible, especially taking into account that I was shooting without a hood. _________________ Follow this link for my FOR SALE list (partially updated 19.11.2015) |

I see. Might be a nice focal length for portraits as well. The last two images (5,6) are showing an impressive detail output from the lens, especially for wide open. I have a very capable Yashica ML 100 lens on C/Y mount for my Contax AX, but I'm almost positive it WOULD have some flare if I had tried to take a picture of #6. The flare would most probably have shown between the leaves.
Ummm...a keeper for sure, right? _________________

This lens my all time best portrait lens, superb sharpness, contrast whatever you can say positive from a lens and not huge like faster Planar 85mm.
I did clean topic from useless, rude comments. Please follow a simple rule as always critics , must be polite and detailed , to say crap not helps just hurt no matter true or not if you can't do, ignore post, only polite and detailed critics can help to learn we don't need anything else. _________________ -------------------------------
