Re: Anyone looking for Zeiss Optics.
FWIW, I have a ZK 35mm f2.0 T* which I have used sparingly. Never having owned a Pentax 35mm, I can’t make any sort of comparison. I like the look and feel of the lens, I like the results. But do I really need this when I have the D FA 24-70mm f2.8? Well, but then I think about fixed-focal shooting, and what a nice set of primes I have in the 20/2.8, 24/2.0, 35/2.0, 50/1.2, 100/2.8 macro… But only the macro is a “modern” lens with some degree of weather resistance, and with autofocus combined with a quick-shift feature. The Zeiss 35/2.0 and others of my fixed-focal-length collection periodically get moved to the “sell these soon” end of the shelf. And then I fondle them and take a few pictures and put them back out of harm’s way.

Re: Weather Out of Whack!
You could probably get passive cooling with a wind-catcher & attic ventilation, especially if you have good insulation between the attic and the rest of the house. Wind-catchers don't have to use evaporative cooling ... they can, but they don't have to. On 2/13/2017 11:26 PM, Alan C wrote: Paul & PJ, thanks for that.
