Thanks for sharing, Klaus. Such a unique new building. Hope I can visit it one day. You might have had the first monochrom in there.

My first thought when I saw the original post is that I wish they had more contrast, but as a group, they've grown on me. I particularly like 1 & 4 from the first post and 2 and 5 from the 2nd.
If you dont mind me asking, what focal length(s) were you shooting? Just curious as to the scale of the interior.

Thanks for your comments, Phil. Contrast is a personal choice. The files are pretty flexible and you can adjust to your liking in every which way given you got a good exposure in the first place. I use B&W light yellow filters when shooting with the MM.
The first two shots in post #4448 are with a 2/50 Planar, all following shots are with a 35'cron asph. I didn't have my 25 Biogon in the bag, I'll bring that the next time I'll visit this location. It is a pretty impressive scale, inside as well as outside. I guess the floor pieces of marble are about 2 ft wide and 6 feet long when you compare them to the people.
I was just quickly walking through and not really exploring the place. A little tricky when it's bright and sunny outside, so a filter is definitely useful to help with the highlights.

An unusually attractive cat pic!

Is the the Monochrom or 246? O rarely use 10000iso on my Monochrom, but nice to see it can still deliver something lovely.
