I have never tried Cinestill but from what I see posted it looks gritty and red.
Can this endearing color cast be tamed by post scanning correction?
Scott, love that deliciously lit tree to the right of the chapel.
Glen, I'm with Leighton, that third truck picture is outstanding.
Looking at the film shots lately, and the Df Neutral Picture Control that Siphiwe posted above, the default LR profiles for the Z's seem to goose the colors / saturation a little too much.

Leica Monochrom 246 with Nikkor 2.8cm f/3.5 and 720nm IR filter
George,
Wow! Beautiful. Because of this thread, I got too curious about IR and got myself a 720nm IR filter. Problem I just realized is that what I got was 82mm diameter to use with 14-30 lens and too big for 55/1.2 . May be I can find a step up ring.
That is what I do. Use step up rings. I have two filters. A 52mm and an 82mm. Use the 52mm for the smaller diameter lenses and the 82mm for the larger ones and use rings.

It feels as if summer’s slipping away, and I’ve hardly been able to get out shooting. Life intervenes!
I sometimes challenge myself to go out walking with only one lens — but not when traveling.
Here are a couple of feeble attempts with the 35/1.4. Sharp at f/8 and dreamy wide open.
George, your Leica Monochrome images are making me salivate. My budget doesn’t need that kind of temptation now or ever. When the Monochrome first came out, I really wanted one since I have a bunch of old Leica gear that I got back when a college buddy was a Leica rep for several years. I used to develop and print all my own black-and-white shots. Since I’m not shooting film these days, the Monochrome seemed like the way to go until I nearly collapsed from sticker shock. I really should sell the Leica equipment, but I just can’t bear to part with it. It’s beautiful, it’s built like a battleship, and there’s a sensuous thrill tripping the shutter of an M4 even though it’s over 55 years old.
