The M9 as a Landscape camera

[m_driscoll]

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.

DavidE: Beautiful photograph. I've been wondering what the lens was like in action. Cheers.

Very nice!

Jklotz: +1. Is that the M9 with the CV 35 again? Cheers.

James, I really like your landscape shots. That little CV 35/2.5 is a gem. I have owned nearly all of the CV lenses and sold many of them, but the 35/2.5 and 50/2.5 are still in my bag. Stunningly sharp and great color in a very compact package.

 

[jklotz]

Thanks guys. Yes, it was the CV 35 2.5 skopar, coded as a sumicron

Here's a b&w, M9, CV 35 skopar

My hats off to you on this one.

I just adored it : I have my pictures around the house ( well, maybe not the best thing in the world, but they are mine ) and I would consider having this on a wall : its beautiful. Fantastic !

Here's one with that "Leica glow":

and 100% crop (I'm loving my M9!!!!)

James, your shots made me crave for an M9!
Best,

Thanks Osman, but be careful. It's a slippery slope....

HI James
As you say - a slippery slope. Speaking of slippery!

Taken with the MATE at 35mm

I really like to use black and white for landscape as well, this is with the WATE at 16mm

all the best

Wow that second shot is really gorgeous Jono. I love your composition and texture.

 

[Alnitak]

Jono, I like the perspective of the clouds, tree and road in the second image, but would love to see it in color. I guess I'm just not much of a B&W person.

Thank you Devon

Leif - that's wonderful . . . . taken in the summer I guess?

Jeff - my wife would be proud of you!

Gorgeous shots in this thread. Makes me want to buy an M9

Been awhile since posting on this thread. I love the images and am jealous at the same time. Jealous that it'll be several more months before I can order my M9. Great images all and it has made my decision to get this gem of a camera easier.

This thread has also helped me with lens choices. Please keep posting samples.
