First of all, I like the composition of your image and the way you edited it. The only thing that bothers me is that the sun appears as a large blown out area and not as a small round spot. With ...

With this shot I wanted to show, that the lens has sharp and crisp borders and corners, and a sharp center ( which in this photo is only blurry beacause I focused on the edge of the frame). ...

Yes, there ist approx. 2 stops difference in exposure. But the difference in color rendering is huge - if you look at the tree trunks for example. The nikon image is more biased towards red / ...

Thanks for your reply, Adam. I focused on the corner to show the extreme difference betqween center and edge. If I focus on the center it´s just the other way around. It´s just that I expected a ...

I really love this lens for it´s rendering qualities, it´s color, contrast and sharpness. The one thing that annoys me is it´s very pronounced field curvature, mainly when shooting landscapes. Here ...

I´d recommend Zeiss Milvus 18 2.8 or Zeiss Milvus 15 2.8. Both are great and there is no contender in the Nikon FX lens lineup in my opinion.

Nice set of images! My favorite is Nr. 3. I like the red of the shirt against the blue color of the water. The composition gives a good sense of the power of the waterfall.

I own and use the Zeiss 2/100. I use it as a makro lens, as a portrait lens and as a landscape lens. It yields beautiful results in each discipline. What I love about this lens are it´s rendering ...

The 105 2 DC is completely different in rendering than the 70 200 2.8 fl. The Zoom is very sharp and contrasty with natural vivid colors, but you can get harsh bokeh in some situations. The Prime ...

Maybe Sony implements the color correction already in their raw files? Just an idea as Loxias are limited to Sony.

Intersting. To my eye it is very well balanced between foreground and backgroung. You see so many "portaits" of foreground stones these days on the web. This is not one of them IMO.

That was a very interesting read. The added images look phantastic. Thank you for sharing this article.
