3.5cm f2.8 Biogon on Contax II. I do not remember the film that I used. Pali Gap in Hawaii

Zeiss 135mm APO Sonnar f2. Mid day sun, back light over open water of Lake Pontchartrain. No fill. One of the best lenses I've ever used for shooting backlit portraits. In my experience, most other lenses would have produced a very low contrast, washed out image with tons of flare under these conditions.

Agree this lens is a gem. But, oh! my aching back. 😳

Yep, I just try to imagine what it would have been like if I were using a view camera or even a Hasselblad. Then things don't seem so bad. 😎

Shot with a Carl Zeiss ZE 85mm f1.4 T on a Sony A7s.
An excellent lens in 85mm focal length - one which I am yet to fully test the capabilities of.
