I bought a lightly used Zeiss Biogon 35/2 ZM (in M mount) for my M9 to enjoy. I tried out this lens one sunsrise over Escambia Bay (Pensacola). There wa snothing special about it all, but these were my first captured images with hsi lens. The next day, I oberved sunset at Bayou Texar (Pensacola Florida). It was not a spectacular sunset, but who cares! I enjoyed it all. The following day, we drove to Destin Beach (Florida) for the remainder of the day, and I had one hour to myself just before sunset. I liked that time a lot. Then, I picked up my family from the shopping malls to drive back home. One hour alone felt good.
I opened the DNG files in LR5, followed by transferring all images untouched to jpg. Of course, "stuff" happens to images as you do it, but I did not modify any setting at all (on purpose). No contrast changing or exposure or ... etc.
I uploaded all images to my smugmug account.

Feedback is always welcome.
The lens felt good in my hands, when used on the M9. I like it a lot. I could have used the Summicron or the Summilux pre-asph or the Canon 35/2 or 35/2.8 or 35/1.5 or 35/1.8 or the Nikon 35/1.8 or ...
and I really am not favoring the 35mm focal length that much! Somehow, and over the years, I am used to 35mm on the M9 and a 50mm on the M8.
