I spent a bit of time today on a SHOOTOUT (link) to try to help over at another thread [1]. I learned quite a bit in the process on various things like how to export in LR with title metadata (slideshow function), and also a whole bunch of what NOT to do next time. Posting out here in case others find it useful or have questions/comments, and also to encourage others to do stuff like this as I'd love to see it and it can force a surprising amount of learning and best practices.

Lenses:
- VM 35/1.2 III
- ZM 35/1.4
- VM 35/1.7
- ZM 35/2.8

Good news:
- shot on tripod
- focused with EVF

Bad news:
- no remote release
- auto-ISO
- all lenses coded as 35/1.4 11873
- outdoor light variance
- outdoor swing motion
- default tweaks applied in LR

Thank you for sharing. Always helpful to see somebody else experience with some gear. 🙏

I really liked how the Nokton 1.2 performs wide open
