Photos (most of them) were taken in a very difficult lighting condition, near to undoable. That was challenging.
All photos taken with Contax Planar 1.2/85 mounted on 5D Mark II.
Thanks for viewing.

patrickh |
I can not add the scent, but I can add the menu of the delicious Roman-Celtic banquet that I did enjoy (and in the middle of which the dancers show took place)
For those who don't understand Latin or Italian, here's the translation of the entries:
Starters:
- Mulsum (wine with spices and honey)
- Cheese with herbs and stinging nettles
- Black olives
- Hard-boiled eggs with sauce of pine kernels and honey
- Filled Apricots (delicious - inside there was some kind of cheese)
- Pâté of olives
First Dishes:
- Legionary soup (there was spelt and some other cereals and legumes)
- Roasted pork with sauce of wine (the best!)
- Apple sauce
- Peas with leeks
Second Dishes
- Terrine with fruits and cheese
- Mulsum (see above)
Wine
- Gutturnium of the hills of Placentia
P.S. "Ab ovo usque ad mala" is a sentence by poet Horatius that he used to describe a thing that goes from beginning to end. This because Latin dinners started with hard-boiled eggs and ended with fruits (Malum=Apple).
P.P.S. thanks everyone for the comments. _________________ Orio, Administrator

WOW, just INCREDIBLE pictures .......and also incredible fine Zeiss lenses, perfect sharpness and so much details at this opening ........
Especially the first serie with the 1,2/85mm, the light condition seems to be almost impossible and only a very good fast lens (in good hands of course!) can do that I guess...... |

Thanks Bill. I can say, that was the most difficult set I did ever shoot. Most of the night time I had to shoot against the light - and I mean, what light! A quasi stadium set of super powerful lights pointing right to my eyes!
I have to say, the T* coating of my Zeiss lenses really paid for their price. I do not dare to think what could have happened with any other f/1.2 85mm lens without the T* on. Especially considering that most shots were taken at f/1.2! I think I would have had to thrown 50% of the shots in the bin. Instead, flare ranged from non-existent to very-well-controlled.
Given the position I was locked in, I did what any good photographer manual instructs you to do - that is, I tried to turn the weaknesses into strenghts. In this specific case, I focused my mind on the backlight effects. So I did voluntarily underexpose my shots and searched for the backlight effects in the fabrics, the semitransparencies, the glares and the shadows, instead of doing what I would normally do when the lighting is favorable (that is, placing attention on the faces and expressions).
I think I did not bad - I'm very happy with the outcome and a bit proud also.

Thanks Sandy! The lens is nothing short of terrific. Althought it is mind blowing sharp stopped down, it was really designed to work in the night time wide open - where the sharpness is still good, but what kicks your socks off is the flare control. You can really shoot this lens in almost every most despiseable conditions. Chances are you'll always take home a decent photo.
Then you understand that the money you paid for it was not a madness. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Yes, it produces images that feel very natural and still with that 3D zeissy feel. It is great for subjects like children.
It is quite different from the 1.4 - which I still love. The 1.4 gives a roaring character to the images, I think it is great for fashion and glamour, the set I shoot with Anna in the villa pleased me totally. The 1.2 makes images that feel more natural and brings out more delicacy in the skin tones. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Yeah, right, a relatively gushing neophyte like myself would loosen their
