I'm not sure why you're dialing in -0.5 EV on most of them. They all look underexposed (too dark) to me. I really wanted to like some of them too.... Sorry.

Exposures determined by histogram; -0.5 EV just falls out in this series as the setting where highlights are preserved while giving up minimum shadow detail.

Final image EVs are of course a matter of PP preferences (and monitors). I am biased toward darker, higher contrast range prints, especially in B&W, so there's that.

Thanks for commenting, DonnyB ...........Larry
