Gorgeous photos, Brian. Nicely and tastefully done. Thank you for making these available to us. A photo set like this tells me far about a camera's capability than a strict review. I do want to iterate that I think you've done a marvelous job and don't want to take anything away from you when I mention the cameras capabilities. It seems the lens has low contrast (not a bad thing, especially for bw work or for situations with high native contrast- say gorgeous white dresses in just about any setting) though manages quiet a bit of micro-contrast (quite evident in the skin tones). I know the files have processed, which leads me to my question: did you smooth out details in the skin, or does the camera natively render them as such? Of course it's also possible you're subjects had beautiful skin to begin with
