Well done!  I really like the (lack-of?) post-processing in these delightful images.  There is something "honest/wholesome" (apologies for the poor descriptors, but I hope you understand what I'm saying) about the rendering, which complements the moments you've captured.  Speaking of rendering, the Zeiss Sonnar never ceases to amaze me.

Wow, thank you! You just made my week!

As a photojournalist from the film era I've been striving the last few years to find digital toning that does not distract from the content, and won't feel dated, and have arrived to this point just recently. I don't care for the "film look" - let film be film and digital be digital - however, I have learned restraint from the good film simulations and reading about what works for those trying to emulate the M9 CCD: don't open the shadows much unless there is detail important to the content (and then maybe a brush is a better tool), most of the time make sure there is a good black, no added clarity, usually leave contrast as shot unless an older lens, little bit of vibrance, zero the NR built into the DNG, and usually Standard output sharpening (LR) no matter how much sharper High looks.

 

The Leica colors have also made this so much easier, especially for skin and wood tones, compared to the Sony FF I dumped late last year to get the M10. And these M10 calibration values for LR have been key for me. I now enjoy post processing. And as a former newspaper Photo Editor thank you for calling it post processing!

 

This was the first time using the Zeiss 50 Sonnar in anger and I am very pleased with it so far. What Zeiss calls the "rounded sharpness" seems to play into the rendering as you wonderfully described as "honest/wholesome."

No, you made my month!
