Greg,

Apart from the spots Geoff mentions (IMO, probably the most annoying 
aspect of digital photography - I always forget to clean the sensors of 
my Canons), I see moderate pixelisation (?) effects in the sky, quite 
strong above and below the moon.

Otherwise, a fine example underlining the almost legendary quality and 
performance of Zeiss optics.

I've observed similar effects after using Lightroom and CS2 on some of 
my shots.

BTW: I've always found Zeiss lenses to be quite different in their 
colour rendition, On SLRs and DSLRs, the Zeiss Sonnar 2.8/135 is totally 
different from the Leica Elmarit-R 2.8/135. I actually prefer the Zeiss, 
it seems much cooler and clearer.
