These are 2100x1400 in size, resized (PS, bicubic-sharper) from in-camera jpegs of size 4080x2720 (5D Mark II).
I also include an unscaled crop from the originals.

All photos are at f/2.8 because I needed a bit more depth with this ever moving guy...
For quite some time I was looking at #1 at 200% and I hadn't realized it (try it!).

#1


#1 100% crop

Congrats!! A wonderful razor sharp lens and your pictures prove it!

Just be careful not to do high contrast shots which reaveals the only flaw I could ever find (and reason why I sold it then) - quite some OOF CA (magenta / green):

congrats, beautiful results!
is your success rate with manual focus getting better
young kid always move and it is a challenge with such small dof

magenta/green CA doesn't touch me!
I have a type of color-blindness (deuteranopia) which makes it nearly impossible for me to get annoyed by it Smile
(I hate purple fringing, however)

Thank you poilu!
My success rate is getting better, I think.

However the ZE versions are a different animal.
You have the focus confirmation and you avoid the ugly part:
"focus wide open then stop-down to take the photo".

With the 2/35 ZE, I hardly noticed I was using a manual lens.
Of course the situation at 100mm is different,
yet the 2/100 ZE is far easier to use than the 1,4/85 Contax.
