First experience with Rangfinder : leica M 10 and 50 cron.I was positively surprised about the system and how sharp the combo is.

Superb B&W image. I wonder if you might share your conversion techniques. This is as good as I've seen anywhere.

this image was taken with the basic m10 - not the m10m.

for post production, it was done all in lightroom. first was to apply lens correction as if any leica lens needs it, even my venerable 50mm summicron collapsible. next was to set it to b&w mode. from there, it was a combination of using the basic sliders and tone graph to adjust my tones. 

a special trick of mine to tweak certain tones is to place a horizontal gradient just outside the frame and use the range mask feature. by using the luminance slider on this feature, i can better target just the tones i want to adjust. to me, if i wanted to target just the shadows in the image, this works better than using the basic shadow slider  because that basic slider will move around the rest of the tones.

in a few spots, like the darker areas of the stairs, i did apply a radial tool and used a ranging mask so by using the luminosity slider, i could target just the deep shdows without affecting the surrounding highlights.

i hope this all makes sense to you. thanks again for your compliment

Thank you. I really appreciate your time on explaining this. I can see I'm going to have to up my game.

Reinforcement for those of us who rely primarily on LR, despite the naysayers claiming  other software (e.g., SFX) is necessary for optimizing b/w results. The fact is that there are many great software solutions, and different options can produce similarly great results if one has a good eye and takes time to figure out how to use the tools for best effect. I’m continually learning and open to new LR (and ImagePrint) editing and printing techniques.  The improvement/addition of localized adjustment tools in LR (for example as sboyle describes) has been the most welcome enhancement to LR in recent years for me, and why I rely far less on PS to achieve desired rendering.
