The Holy Trinity Church at Launceston. This later church was consecrated in 1902, after the earlier (1842) church suffered damage in its foundations and a later earthquake. Really needed a 28mm for this giant structure.

City Park cottage, Launceston. Original site was the residence of Governor John Franklin (1786–1847) among others. After serving in the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812, he led two expeditions into the Canadian Arctic and through the islands of the Arctic Archipelago, and served as Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen's Land. During his third and final expedition, an attempt to traverse the Northwest Passage in 1845, Franklin's ships became icebound off King William Island, where he died in June 1847. The icebound ships were abandoned ten months later, and the entire crew died from causes such as starvation, hypothermia, and scurvy.
Looks great, Scott! It has a more organic feel without that digital look. Did you use a particular processing method or filter? This lens in Z-mount should go up in value.

Thanks, Fred!
I have a mix of LR presets I am developing specifically for the ZF/APO combo that incorporate a more filmic look and added grain, which these have. I'm finding the ZF RAW files are wildly different in post than my Z9 RAW files which shocked me...figured a Nikon was a Nikon
I told my wife I have entered "gear stasis" until the new year...but now with the 50 APO being discontinued and still available, I'm honestly thinking about swapping my X100V for it...

Still using your "Gold" recipe!
I would recommend it, especially since you still have the "VI." I believe Cosina's 50/2 APO is their best lens, so it's worth getting one before they’re no longer available!
Explain it to your wife; I'm sure she would understand.

She is entering the world of competitive long distance kayak racing as her mid-life hobby, and it's cute when she tells me that the "upper" level kayaks are pushing $3000...if she only knew!!
