Very nice series with the Contax lenses Rich. This one is really special. How do you like the 35-70 on m43? I have also been processing most of my IR work from the G1 entirely in LR2.7 with minor tweaks to WB and saturation (usually desaturating blue). I like the warm reddish midtones and resulting split-tone when blue is pulled down.Pretty much straight OOC..... Contax 35-70
Thanks Carl.
I like the 35-70. It is a beautiful lens. I am finding that is does a better job with color on the m43 (nicely saturated), than with the IR converted GH1. It seems slightly flatter and less contrasty. The killer lenses for IR so far for me are the Contax G 45/2 and 90/2.8. I do, however, like the size and versatility of the 35-70.
It is nice to hear that you are doing your RAW processing in LR2.7. It really helps the workflow. I am using C1 to convert, into LR for about every else....and then into CS4 for sharpening. I am not a sharpening adept and I can not live without Photokit Sharpener. For my IR, I finish with a few favorite LR split tone presets (not on this picture) and print.

Carl, I can see why the grads would come to take a final look. It is a beautiful place. The second image is my favorite. The people in the last two certainly add scale to the scene.
Matto, Your photo is beautiful as well. I really like the blurred water and your excellent composition.

This is wonderful. The Contax lenses seem to really work well with IR.A walk along the shore of Cayuga Lake with G1-IR + Contax G 35mm f/2 Planar.

Thanks Cindy. Yes, I'm very pleased with the old Contax lenses on the G1-IR.
Cindy, What a beautiful and complex sky you have captured in this harbor scene. Really lovely shot.

Thank you, Carl. The complex sky brought a big rain with it....which we needed.
Today the sky was amazing. This is shot with G1 IR and Pen-F 20 f/3.5
