The All New More and More Fun With Digital M Images

Steve, more amazingness. Funny, I was scanning images before captions came on, and I said, "This has to be Steve's work"...AMAZING....

Lloyd, very fascinating work with showing the difference in noise reduction. I am waiting with baited breath for LR 3 to officially be released, but you demonstrate that the noise reduction algorithms alone may suffice in inducing this purchase!!!

Rayyan, an amazing shot. I just sold the 28 cron, but your image demonstrates what a magical image capturing tool this can be in the right hands. Congrats!

+1, That really is a gorgeous shot.

You Sold The 28 Cron!!!!! :eek::eek::eek: Well, it's not like you have no alternatives. :D I do think, however, that the 28 Cron is one of the finest lenses Leica have ever made.

More Sonnar funtimes, these at f/1.5. I think I should ask if I can return the aperture blades for a partial refund, as this lens is gonna live its life wide open. On M9.

Daniel: Nice quality to these images. Great expression here.

m8, CV 35 nokton
Endre: Great capture. The blurred people are a definite plus.

Love the leg, Endre. Hope they're able to rescue that poor woman soon!

Reminds me of a lamp I encountered on my trip to Japan.

David: We have that lamp! Is there something wrong with it?:LOL:

Superb pics all.. my small contribution.

M8, lux 50 asph, iso=1250, @f 1.4


rayyan: Very rich image. It takes a second to realize that they're monks and then you look closer.

Oh, no, it's more of those 18mm shots from Vegas.:)

David: These are all good. This one just struck my fancy. Vegas shots are OK. That way I won't have to go there for another decade.

Steve: Great, as always! Your B & W processing is something to strive for. This one made me look a couple of times. Very Nice composition.


View from my window..M8, cron 28 asph

Thanks for looking.
rayvan: Beautiful image. Where do you live?

Don/David: Thanks.

Cheers, Matt.

Mine's much older, and has the separate hood. Probably just the lens, as I've seen some good shots wide open from others. I do know that Elmarit is amazingly sharp stopped down.

Beautiful image on the Stiliaguamish, BTW. Man, that 24 lux is sharp, isn't it?
Lloyd: Thanks. Didn't get out today to try the Elmarit. Do it tomorrow. the 24 lux is extremely sharp and I was processing it too much.

Playing around with Lightroom 3 Beta 2.

These are from a local art museum. Nothing special, photography-wise, I was just testing the light for a wedding I'll be shooting here next month, as they do not allow flash.

M8, 35 Cron ASPH, ISO 1250:

This is right out of the camera:


100% Crop; Lots of noise is evident:


Same crop; 10 seconds in LR3 Beta 2. Quick adjustment of the Luminance and Color Noise sliders (I realize it's a little soft. I did not apply any sharpening after the noise reduction):
Lloyd: I really like the results from LR3. Looking forward to it's release.

Cheers, Matt.

M9, 50 Noct & M8.2, 50 Lux :)
I love this one particularly! It's beautiful.

And here are a few more shots from tonight's walk - rain yesterday, and i wasn't bold enough to expose my M9 to the water (yet!)

90/2.0 - the door handle is cropped (edit: i must've missed my export settings, it's huge!) The other two are full frame shots.

I am so jealous if those mountain views up in Seattle - to all those who live in Seattle. Come summer I will be sending along some images from Tahoe, so watch out!

Daniel, the Voightlander lenses are certainly sharp wide open and such a great bargain.

Endre, now we're talking. ;) Reminds me of the leg lamp scene from an American movie that gets replayed over and over at Christmas time each year here in the states ... A Christmas Story. I don't know if you've seen it, but here's a youtube clip of the leg lamp scene:

fra-gi-le ,- that must be italian LOL,- that was a good link, have not seen before-
cheers,


@ David,- a nice find, too in Japan. Indeed the Elmarit is a lovely little lens gives a good field of view on the M8, too.

Steve, Lloyd, excellent shots. Btw, I think noise removal in LR3 is very good AND C1 did a very good job. I slightly tend to prefer C1.
