Re: amazing.. 75mm is indeed a special lense

contrast, sharpness, bokeh, color rendition, good build quality.. this lens has got it all. Why pay more for Zeiss or Leica, when you can have your cake and eat it at much lower prices.

It's not only about the price, about the size/weight too.
For example, see what my fried captured last year at the same event

I admit that he takes stunning photos, better than mine (BTW, he almost didn't process that set).
But, he used Contax medium format camera + Phase One digital back + Zeiss 350mm F4 lens. This combination is almost as big as bazooka.
Here are few more photos in full resolution. Just finished processing. If you are interested, the rest are here (140+ photos):
