(and a cheesy and overdone shot!)
One man's cheesy is another man's classic
I like it, though I find the movement in the birds distracting. Next time, before you take the shot, jump up and down while waving your arms and shouting to drive them all out of frame before you hit the shutter. This is where a 30' air release helps.
:nuts:
Moving on, here's a quickie from my RZ67 on Ilford Pan+. Minimal work in post other than to make the triptych as I wanted to compare the effects.

From left to right:
- Sekor 90mm f/3.5 lens, 1s @ f/8
- Sekor 90mm f/3.5 lens, 1/4s @ f/3.5
- Sekor 150mm f/4 SFC lens, 1/4s @ f/4
Window light, incident metered using a Weston Master V with invercone after checking the readings against my F100 for the first picture (the 150mm image).
While the 90mm is sharp, the 150mm gives the picture a kind of luminosity that I rather like, despite the feeling that I need to use it exclusively for backlit permed hair. Perhaps the slow shutter and low light have enhanced any IR quality the film has, though I'm guessing now. I'll have to take some landscapes with the 150mm on Pan to check.
I'm definitely smitten with the RZ and I've just loaded a back with Velvia 50 to try out once the weather improves. If the results from the Pan are anything to go by, I may fall in love
