Review of short tele lenses

Test Scenario 4: Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 2/100 ZF vs. Leica Elmarit-R 90 mm f/2.8 - Blue/Yellow flower

Between photos tripod was moved and therefore main subject fulfills about same area in photos from both lenses. Focusing distance was about 1.2 meters with CZ100ZF. This comparison suffers from typical lens comparison problems when doing "real life outdoor" tests: light was changing and also the background is slightly different since I moved camera backward when switched to CZ100ZF, but didn't raise tripod at same time. Photos are taken with Canon EOS 1D Mark III (1.3x crop) and using Av-mode in camera.

No processing has been used and RAW-photos are converted with Apple Aperture all sliders in default positions. Therefore these may seem to be lacking "punch" compared to my normal images but it makes comparison of images what lenses produce easier.
