St Rochuschapel, Amersfoort. Built 1507, in 1897 it was planned to be demolished but luckily survived this foolish idea.
Subsequent restorations were performed in 1905, 1957, 1968 and 2014. These old buildings require regular maintenance.

Just purchased Nikkor-H 28mm/f3.5 lens with the intention of shooting in IR.  This is an initial test image using a very dense IR90 filter.

That looks very promising, Akira!! I would have tweaked the image a bit further to make it more "IR-like" in contrast etc., but that's just me.

The old Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 is utterly reliable and well worth many times its current low asking price on the second-hand market :)

Action-shooting with the massive Rodenstock TV-Heligon 50mm f/0.75 on the tiny Z30 is a lot of fun -- sort of. The lens is glacially slow in its manual focusing as the focusing threads have a fine pitch, thus unless you have pre-focused to the approximate distance one is apt to miss the action.

I continue to be amazed of the optical performance of this 50+ year old design at an effective f/0.75. Since the shutter speed of the Z30 maxes out at 1/4000sec, I now use an ND8X filter on the lens for daylight use. This just barely makes the shutter speeds to fall in the available range :)

Thank you for the encouragement, Birna!  I don't have enough experience even for the "normal" B&W process.  So, I'll experiment with the processing along with the shooting in IR.

Something like this, perhaps? Take with a pinch of salt as editing a small jpg for IR appearance isn't optimal. However, I must say your file looked very promising and had great sharpness.
