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.

Life is good.
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.

Here are a few more snapshots from this lens:
There was a wedding that day (I arrived too late for it), so I exposed the shot two different ways:

I always take photos towards the sunset and towards the other side too. In the East, the colors can be quite special. People pay too much attention to the sunset otself in the West. I am posting a larger sized image here.

Great photos. i went through flight school back about 1977 at Pensacola and then Whiting. One of my best friends from military days has a medical practice in Pensacola.
I enjoy your photos and they bring back memories. I am heading RTW this week with a Zeiss 35f2.8 C Biogon mounted on the M9. I have packed it and the 90f2.8 Tele Elmarit M for this trip.
