and to keep the tilt-shift imagery going (lovely image Werner!), here are two using the Canon FD TS 35/2.8 (the bird is Australia's ubiquitous magpie...nothing like the European one!)
What it is with the B&W that you want improved? I like it a lot as is, of course you can edit other variants which might look better, or worse, or just different but this one is nice IMO. What are you looking for? If you want something that is outstanding as far a B&W goes you should give Google Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 a test though.
Wilbus, it's just that around internet I see very nice conversions that really pop out... need some magic dust.. will give nik silver efex a go!
thanks
Charles....happy anniversary! It's always nice to actually meet our fellow FMer's in person!
Michiel...those R 180/3.4 shots have incredible detail!
Jack...love the M 50 Lux asph and ZM 35 1.4 shots...
To all...some awesome images on these last few pages!
Took the Loxia 50 out yesterday on a walk...this lens really blows me away. I'm almost convinced that Zeiss & Leica developed this lens together. The pop is much more subtle than regular Zeiss-ness, but it's still there! And the bokeh, to my eye, really really feels( ok, I'm ready for a severe backlash!!) more Leica. You'll see what I mean when you take a look at the portrait of Gio below. Has a very nice glow wide open...

Samuli...love your landscapes with the Loxia 50, btw....also incredible detail!
And then the Loxia 50 does shine for landscapes, as Samuli proves, as well...
