the first 4 shots seems to have blown highlight and seem to be overexposed! also, the shot #1 has overwhelming amount of noise, at least on my monitor!

Just sharing more images done on the Otus with manual focusing (liveview). I gotten to a point that i could get some success on moving objects.















Overall i am very pleased with the Otus 55 and like any other skills in life, the more time spent on it, the easier it gets. At this point I have decided to try a few more projects in the coming weeks and keep pushing the envelop on nailing the focus on slow moving subjects.

For the manual focusing techniques available only in the newer cam, my blog can be found with these on google : "The Zeiss Otus 55 1.4 Review Marcus" around the 4-5th entry listed

I'm puzzled why you don't use AF confirm in the viewfinder for moving subjects instead of LiveView.

I like the horse, the others, not so much.

Film looks the best, doesn't matter if it's pictures or video. Digital is still way behind OOC but obviously digital can be manipulated if you know what you're trying to accomplish, nice shots IMO!

I agree with the previous poster about the overexposure, if you're going for a film look you have to watch the highlights because digital will blow out way sooner.

Digital highlights blow out almost instantly compared to film.... It's one of the stupid things about digital sensors. I'm not an engineer but I have no idea why the sensors are so linear when they could electronically control how a pixel responds to brightness. There's literally no reason for a highlight to blow out, it doesn't help the photographer to have blown out highlights and it isn't how our eyes work either....
