I usually shoot RAW, but, I used JPG and Classic Chrome for a change..

I also applied a little bit of the Clarify Plugin by Topaz to add a little pop to the CC colors

Jamie, sorry I missed your query when it was timely! I'll send a pm, but for the benefit of the thread: these are wide open, ISO 200, using the rear AF button so the shutter is only about the shutter- moment; I use the BW/green filter but shoot raw+; my development default in LR 4x is the green filter, but sometimes I choose orange (different highlights/contrasts) , sometimes I manage the desaturated hues/luminances manually; then I adjust highlight/shadow curves and often, as in this set, use the brush to make local adjustments, mostly again to relative highlight/shadow.

However, the OOC jpgs don't look exceptionally different. So it seems to me the key here is the shooting setup, and of course the lens!--they have to look good in the moment, and in review, or they won't make it as far as the computer.
 
Had the X-Pro 1 when it was first released and hated it, but loved the 35 f1.4 Recently got the Adorama deal and am learning to enjoy the camera more than before, but my feelings toward the 35 have not changed. Here are three recent portraits

It's hard to believe there are still complaints about Fuji AF capability.
I still use the older Xpro1 and XE1 bodies and an X100c.
Did a wedding this weekend. The cameras perform perfectly.
2 Cameras around ones neck and a third in pocket.
Focus duties handled by the AF. As much as I love rangefinders these Fujis do a better job than I ever could.
Wish that fuji could build a film body for these lenses :p

XF35... not a final edit but wanted to post. Yes, My dog Hugo found himself welcomed from the seat of my truck to the bride and grooms table. :p

The XF 35 is just about as good as a lens ever needs to be. Nice git fiddlers Robert.
Your friends look like a lot of fun!
 
Wow Robert, love the last two portraits! And it is because of the fun you share with this photos... congrats!
 
Gracias, Xabi. I ought to make more casual portraits of friends--that's what I tell myself whenever I do it, which is still almost never.
