That last post should be the first post in a new thread headed 'Old Glass', rather than hidden at the end of a classified ad thread. It might start an interesting discussion/debate.

5. The final one (just for fun) using the Tone Mapping sub option 'Retinex', I did try toning it down but it resisted to some extent LOL.

I post processed in Rawtherapee as always except some rare times in ART. I currently have the k1 set to b/w and if viewing in camera or on PC it's b/w whereas fortunately for me, opening in RT brings up colour. I was pleasantly surprised at the sky too, no changing done to it. ( I can't remember if I tweaked the contrast a bit, don't think so.)
The 210mm evening shot was edited ever so slightly by bringing down the exposure which showed the red sky tinge more as it actually was, to my taste anyway.

Thanks, loadoftripe. These are mono converted images. The sky darkening was through pp, no infrared. For these images inspiration is from- BW VISION.COM by Joel Tjintjelaar.

May I ask about the dark sky, did you play in pp changing red and blue channels or use infrared somehow?
