I found I like how the images in sunlight look a lot better with some
filtration, and I marvel at how the DNGs look like underexposed film
developed in Rodinal, but that they respond so INCREDIBLY well to
manipulation that I can make them look however I like.

I really like the way the close values separate out well - much better
than in a converted colour file.

Unfortunately, my 75 Summilux, Noctilux and 35 Summilux all mis focus
quite badly wide open on this new body.  They are all going to have to
take a holiday to get adjusted so they can work more happily together.

Later,

Marty
