Shots from the R7
1

As I said, I used all my cheap(ish) RF primes with the R7, but mostly the 35 and the 85. First, here's the R7 with the 50:

Now the 16:

And the 85 F2:

There are young philosophers, with body piercings (just like normal people-- who knew?)

And old philosophers without

And philosophers with tattoos

And a few with the RF 35 on the R7 at the closing reception:

I did all my B&W conversions with DXO Filmpack, from within PL5. The emulation that I used most, and one I'm really liking these days for its contrast and tonality, is ADOX CMS 20, but I also sometimes use Kodak Tri-X (takes me back to my teenage years) and Ilford Pan-F plus 50. I also sometimes add a bit of toning, Sepia terra dialed down to about 20-30.

All in all, I was very pleased with the combination of R and R7 for shooting this event. Next year, I might use the 70-200 on the R7 in the larger conference room when we have the plenary talks.
