When I briefly owned an M9, much of the time I had trouble getting accurate color from my raw files, I tried various color profiles in Lightroom and some worked ok but it was frustrating how much more time it took messing with hue sliders to get the color just right. I've never had to do that with the M8.

Animefx, what are the differences in the color signatures between the M8 and M9? Are you just talking about jpegs?

My apologies for disappearing again... school has gotten the best of me once more. Again, it's been project after project, a field trip to New York, and now more projects.

I'm currently taking a 15 minute break after finishing an assignment, sitting next to Hillary and sharing a plate of nachos. Figured it'd be a good time to post :)

First off, lovely photos on this page, I havent had time to fully catch up, but I hope to someday...

Hillary and I just got back from a school trip to New York City :p We left thursday (after pulling an all-nighter on wednesday), arrived half awake on friday and checked into one of the grungiest hostels I've ever been to, though... compared to Hong Kong, it was like an apartment in a Trump Tower. Our trip was horribly planned and extremely overpriced (with half of our $400 fee going to an unknown cause... probably the professors' hotel rooms). Despite all that, it was a fun, but tiring trip. More on that when I develop/process the photos I took during the trip :)

Here are a few completely unrelated photos I've taken in the past few weeks.

These were taken with an M5, Zeiss 28 Biogon or Canon 35/2, on HP5+. We ran low on developer so only half the tank got filled when developing... and only half the roll was properly developed! Though it made for some pretty cool effects on the photos!

















Thanks again to the dude who donated the M5 and Bronica RF645 :) it was definitely a morale booster and... faith-restore-er that I needed in the past two months...

Its been an absolutely crazy summer for me! I have looked in on the thread and seen all the wonderful images posted. I have been just to busy to post myself :(

Anyway, too many to comment on, but just like that other thread you folks have been raising the standard all summer long!

A few from the Bird market in HK.

One from last night from the 10th floor of the building were I was working for the day. Shot through the window, but came out ok. Pretty impressive sky as the storm was breaking.

That's interesting, because, at least according to some guys who I relatively trust, the color filter of the M8 and M9 is the same design.

Ok, finally got out and did some shooting with the M9 again ... This is not a coordinated set of any kind, just a little celebration of getting some chops back into using this camera.














All but one were made with the M-Rokkor 90mm f/4 lens. (Should be obvious which ... that one was made with the new Skink Pancake Pinhole.) One does forget just how wonderful both the M9 and this ancient little lens can be.

I think I'll re-fit the Nokton 50/1.5 ASPH (LTM) now for a bit.

enjoy!
