Charles, if you see a 50 Noct going for cheap in Bangkok, let me know . Congrats on your new 90Cron. Excellent set of pictures, but my favorite must be the 35Lux ASPH, so sharp and smooth!
Hey Phil, nice to see you shooting some \"street\" stuff. This one is excellent. Like the framing and expression very much!
Luka, another excellent set with the 90Cron. Very nice colors and love that \"Vatten\" shot. Hope you get the M9 back soon.
Ryan, very nice set. I want that 50Lux II, love the classic rendering on this lens. Plus points for the bench shot. The 3rd shot with the flare and the 4th shot are my favorites from this set.

Joe. in that street shot is that all SEP2 or was there some additional processing ? I love the ultra smooth tonality and the background has this sort of surreal sketched effect to it, but far less overdone than the Dave Hill/Lucis Art type of effect.
If SEP2 has that much control over midtones and the overall tonality its going to be a must buy for me
Thanks! All done in SEP2. This release really improves the control of the entire tonality, not only on the midtones but also for highlights and shadows. There are separate sliders for contrast and clarity for both shadows and highlights, plus they seem to have improved the algorithm for the selective tool. Much more \"intelligent\" with dodge and burning, and definitely speed up my workflow.
Ryan, just keep shooting and you will get the hang of it.

Sorry guys, but it time for my 90 Tele-Elmarit to fight back all the 90Cron shots posted.
So, I went out for a haircut in Boston Chinatown on Sat morning, brought the M9 along but this time, instead of the 35Cron or Lux, I shot with the 90 Tele-E. Its nowhere near the 90Cron on performance but its very compact. 90FOV is definitely my weakest and least practiced lens so here goes. I find myself stepping back for almost every shot.
First, the \"FM-forum\" or \"denoir\" style shots. SEP2.
#1 At the parking lot.
#2 \"denoir style\" - I love the B&W tonality with SEP2.
#3 . Processed in SEP2 and added additional clarity in LR3. The clarity tool in LR3 seems to have more pop than SEP2. The longer FL definitely suits this style of photography.
. Congrats on your new 90Cron. Excellent set of pictures, but my favorite must be the 35Lux ASPH, so sharp and smooth!
