I had noticed the shakuhachi section on your home page a few weeks ago so it's neat to see what you use "up close" Great shots and an interesting subject!

The Zeiss doesn't appear to, but since the aperture is controlled manually on the aperture ring, it's possible that the effect is there but not transmitted from the lens to the camera because it's not properly chipped or something. Maybe I'll ask on dpreview. My old Tamron 90 macro did the same thing.

Is the Zeiss like that? I didn’t know that PVC pipe had a “root end” ;-)
