I love fabrics.

I do, as long as it is not covering the body of the model!

Pretty sure I told many times before, but please let me remind you my personal believe that the quality of a lens can be seen very clearly on how it renders fabrics (besides the human skin).
Natural fabrics like wool and cotton, especially if they have rough pattern like the blanket beneath Georgia, are a perfect indication about the quality of the lens.
And this Contax-Zeiss Planar T* 100mm f2, now pared with the medium format of the Fujifilm GFX, makes a great job out of this blanket, as you can see in the area on the left of the frame, where the right arm of Georgia is.
The focus areas make you feel the tactile sensation of touching the fabric, and you can almost feel the cosy warmth of the female body on the blanket.
The gradual passage from in and out of focus areas, and the natural micro contrast of this low glass elements lens, helped by the huge medium format sensor are a feast for the eyes.

I'm afraid, the photos I will be doing from now onwards, may require even more of your attention, if you want to appreciate the smallest nuances I am portraying, like the blond hair sticking out from the forearm of Georgia in this photo.
