As you might have already known, the Makro-Sonnar is my favourite among the 9 lenses in the N-series.

This is the final phase of cherry blossom in Vancouver, and the first day of shooting with the "new" camera I purchased yesterday - my first full frame, finally.

Thanks for the nice shots! I forgot to mention that I used to live in Arizona. Tucson, though, which was a true desert. Got my M.Sc. in Comp Sci at University of Arizona.

Tucson to Vancouver........ I bet that was a change for you....... I did the opposite, Colorado to Phoenix..... I'd rather sweat than shiver!! q:-}
These pictures were taken the day I got the lens back from you. I ran out into the yard,picked a blooming Chaparral Sage for the AF test....... love that crispness and edge to edge Zeiss sharpness!!!! Sold my 16-35 2.8 Canon and I won"t miss it anytime soon.

Here are a couple from my first thrist with the 70-300 (71-285 in my case) one at each extreme. The wider shot had the sun behind the clouds (and behind me).

I agree lovely colours and contrast.

Does anyone have any opinions on the N 85mm f1.4? How does it compare tot the greats of this focal length i.e. 85 f1.2 aniversary, the Leica offerings and of course Canon's own f1.2?

Here is a shot taken with the N85 at f1.4. the light was not good at the time and ISO was 640.

Here is another taken at f1.4. Shame her snout is OOF.

Bokeh is not so obvious in this shot but in general The Bokeh is wonderful. It can be seen quite easily even when looking through the view finder.

I Am Interested In The N 85mm f1.4
But Since I Own The 85mm f1.2, Let's Say It's Only Interest...
I Am UNwilling To Pay The Price I Have Seen Them Listed At.
I Believe Contrast, Color, And Resolution Would Be Better.
Still I Have The 100mm N And Are Looking Foward To The 70-200 N Conversion,
Which Would Give Me The Focal Length Covered Quit Well....

Now...
Who Would Guess, The Sun Does Shine In South Texas After All....
