Hi Popo,
I've just got back from a holiday in the mountains (carrying a bunch of primes - it was a back-breaker) and overall the Zeiss 50/2 was the most useful lens in my kit. Great for landscapes, and for rough-and-ready close ups it's a very good performer. The image quality is almost flawless, and by F2.8 it's totally sharp across the frame. Still, I'd been interested to know about other 'exotic' lenses in this range such as the Leicas.
Here's a dragonfly I managed to creep up on, and a 100% crop. Shot at ISO 200, F 7.1.
The 100% crop is in the next post. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
