Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M9 Images

BTW, my first 17 X22 just came out of the Epson 3800, and IT IS SPECTACULAR! Pixel peeper noise and junk seen on the computer screen is not there in the full sized print. WaHoooo! This M9 camera rocks!
Actually, the color in LR is okay for the most part. Normal work it's pretty much there. It rears its head in these low mixed lighting scenarios ... but as I said my Sony had fits with it also ... as did my assistant's Canon 5D.My eyes are still in training. Sometimes I see it, sometimes I don't.
I think will pick up one of those pocketable colour checkers from X-Rite. They come with a Lightroom plugin which does a quick colour balance on the image(s), and that is probably sufficient for my uses.
The thing which bothers me a little about the M9 is that rather than going back to a neutral startpoint, it introduces more complications, in the form of the new IR filter on the sensor, and the built-in corrections for that. This means potentially more complex problems with CV and ZM lenses, as well as a more complicated colour correction workflow. This makes me hesitate a little with my trigger-finger when it cones to purchasing. Even lenses like Leica's own 18mm have some colour issues, and my current feeling is that this time I would rather wait until these issues have been sorted. It is a chunk if cash, and after the M8, I would rather be a little patient than go through potential factory service etc. to get it as good as my M8 is by now.
Anyway, blah blah, I am just still being more picky than usual.
