Re: More and more fun with M8 images
Must have left the 'low sharpening' default on.
However, it does show the DR of the M8. Was actually the CV 15 I think

PS, there is a larger lake beyond the land bridge; it was separated by a rock slide in historic times.
It was the same trip I 'almost bumped into Guy" on the eastern side of the ATlantic, but a little farther east.
I think I used " an action from to NOT TO BE NAMED SUPPLIER OF ACTIONS for the web?

The next two show why we buy leica lenses!
same lake other way, into the sun, and 100% crop
I see the difference!

PS; I did use levels in these to remove haze from both. However the real difference is in the resolution; both mid distance crops and the second I think was the 28mm. I believe both were set at infinity for the shots, so the 15 SHOULD have been a lot better close in. Light and iso the same I think . Also the 28mm was faster (1/350 vs 1/125) however, there is little motion blur as you can see from any straight edge. It is just better resolving from the Leica (and yes, I understand the FL makes a difference. but 100% is 100%; the leica just puts a better image on those pixels
BTW, here is a 100% crop of that cv 15 shot; not too great.

Re: More and more fun with M8 images
Are my cheeks still here? That's what the guy on the right seemed to be asking himself. We stopped into this dark bar in San Francisco for a beer at about 4 in the afternoon and these two were the only other customers. Apparently they'd just sealed an important deal that day and were on their 4th bottle of red. The guy on the left reminds me of John Candy with a bad dye job.

Maggie, it was right down in the center of town pretty much. Jack's? Something like that. Apparently been around for a hundred years or so. Two floors of tables and lots of local celebs and politicos pictured on the walls. We were tired and thirsty and weren't paying much attention.

After a feverish brain cramp, I remembered the name. John's Grill, not far from Market. I'm guessing it's a tourist trap. They had the actual Maltese Falcon from the movie on display there. That's about as much as I know since we pounded the beer and headed for Bart.

A few pics from the local zoo and a horse model competition/show. The zoo gave "easter eggs" to many of the animals. Mostly, it was food inside brightly colored paper bags. The hippo got melons. The pic of the wolves occured when possibly a siren got them howling. Although it is a great sound to hear, it sounds better in the wild than in a zoo. I'm sure the nearby deer appreciated it though.

Re: More and more fun with M8 images
Hi Jaap. I like both of the shots however if one had to stand on its own I like the first as it gives you a bit more "information" about the scene and what is going on.
How did you process the first one. It looks like the colors are very desaturated but not grayscale as I think I see a hint of color in the top left sky and on the beach. (I like the effect)
I admire you for always having your camera at the ready and taking lots of really interesting shots.
