Thanks, and I think that is the piece that I’m missing. I use Lightroom cloud/Lightroom mobile and I don’t think it has the improved den noise functionality in it. I’ll have to dig a little bit more.

Still preparing to dig into this project documented with MF Nikkors
Kodak started making SLRs in the 1950s. In 1958 they made the prettiest model - The Kodak Retina Reflex model S. Between 1961-1967 they made the Model III, and IV. My intention is to rebuild one working model of each of Kodak's last three serious SLR film camera bodies. All of these were made in Stuttgart Germany, and all of them used Germany lenses. There were a few Rodenstock & Voigtländer DKL mount lenses, but I have focused on the Schneider-Kreuznach line of lenses which were the most common. The camera and lens quality is exceptional.
Part of the collected cameras, parts donors, and lenses. (Nikkor_50mm-f1.2)
85mm-f1.4-ais
35mm-f1.4-ais
85mm f4 Schneider-Kraeuznach-Retina-Tele-Arton (+ ai adapter) next to the Nikkor_85mm-f1.4-ais

Are these on your Fuji? Very nicely executed! I have an XT5 on the way, hoping the IBIS will help with my shakes I have now. I heavily relied on the OIS on the Fuji 55-200 at a ball game I went too, but even then, I didn’t have as many keepers due to shake that I hoped for. It got to the point that I was using the railing and two soda cups to make a bipod to get the best result.

Thanks Leighton, the light was nice but the mosquitos were absolute worst I’ve ever experienced. There was 4-5 already on my legs just walking out to the pier, much less stopping and shooting. Couple more with the 50mm Series E (I switched to the 85 to tighten up on the log in the water.)
Also, I like those chive blossoms, interesting flower/plant.
I very much enjoy the first shot. I have a soft spot for the Series E line, especially the 50.

I am in the same boat as Ray. He has captured my thoughts exactly.
I have never compared noise reduction software but LrC works very well and amazes me at what it can do.
I don't overcook the effect. For my Z6ii NEF files at ISO 3200 I set the slider to 45-50% and back off to 25-30% if the ISO was at 1600.

Yes, with the X-S10. It has the same sensor and processor as the X-T4. I believe you'll love the X-T5, great camera.

I went to "The Lost Colony" in your neck of the woods once, the mosquitos were so bad that I was convinced they ate the colonist which is why they never were found again.
Leighton, great captures and colors with the 55/1.2.
Rafael, the V-8 Austin Healey must be a fun ride, hope the brakes were also modified. Excellent processing as usual.
Ray, great captures and b&w treatment from the concert.
Matt, terrific light and scenes in your series of photographs.
James, awesome camera gear and and photography, wow.
Took these from the Seastreak heading back from New Jersey. It was a nice late afternoon but very hazy, Silver Efex did a good job of providing decent clarity.
Did my best to center Lady Liberty as the speedy boat was cruising past the sail boat above.
