Jonathan, you are unbelievable! Those shots, especially the first and the last got me thinking 'I wish I took those'. Highly appreciated.
Best,

HI Osman
Thank you for the kind words . . . I was wondering whether I might have 'overplayed my hand' a bit on the last one.
all the best

You are going to love it!

Here are a couple more . . . . I'm going to have to be banned from this thread!

I used the M8 and like using the M9 as a landscape camera because I swim upstream in how I shoot landscape shots. I like a little more softness and/or dreaminess in my landscape shots so I often shoot wide open with faster glass.

This works for urban landscapes as well as non-urban landscapes.

When combined with a wide-angle lens, the M8 can produce lovely shots with edge-to-edge sharpness. I shot this on a rainy day handheld at 1/30 of a second using the 18mm Super-Elmar.

I want to express my thanks to all who've posted their landscape images here as it just goes to reinforce my thoughts about the M9 being a great companion camera to my Cambo WRS1000/P45+. Now all I need to do is settle on which body parts I don't need in order to get the kit...

:D

Down to 1 1/2 lungs and one kidney (used the other for medium format gear). I had sold plasma when I was younger but I think I need to keep what I have for now. Guess I'm back to offering protection services for the folks that pick up cans...

:D :eek:

Great shots!
I really hope CV15 + M9 will work in terms of color shift. I've read that latest CornerFix version solves that.
I also wonder how CV12 would work with M9. Someone posted some samples - were looking great, only big vignetting, but for me it is acceptable.
The CV 12mm works great. It's got less of a red edge problem than the 15 and is easily corrected with Cornerfix if you want. Here's a couple of images from this past weekend, when I was in London:





I personally think this lens might be a bit too wide for most landscapes, and is better for interior/architectural shots like these, but I can see some situations where it could be used for outdoor landscapes. I am sure to try it soon.
