Thanks I will try this.algrove, maybe you need to change the dpi from 240 to 72, in addition to changing the pixel dimensions
Bear in mind that 1200 long side works great for landscape but 850 to 900 in portrait orientation allows viewing without panning on most monitors.Thanks I will try this.
Lloyd: Nice! :thumbup: I've been looking for a good copy of that lens.I wondered how it would behave with an older, uncoated lens. One straight out of the camera, with the Rigid 50 Summicron.
I would think that film looks different mainly due to grain and probably a softer rolloff in the highlights.i'm toying with the idea of the MM, but it also brings up the question of why not just use b/w film. any idea of how the two would compare. say an M7 and tri-x vs the MM?
would the M7 be the suitable M to use?
Woody-Can you give us an idea of the sliders you used for the FAO Swartz shot and how much on the sliders or sent a screen shot of the LR page? Thanks.This is where I get in Lightroom after experimenting with adjustments to look film-like (I've shot and scanned a few rolls of T-Max 100 and Delta 100 to provide a current film benchmark).
OMG.
What I love about the monochrom is how clean images under monochromatic light (red or blue) are.
Dancer is under blue light, see how clean the image is in full size (http://goo.gl/oFLWS).
I do both - B&W film in a variety of 35mm (M7, MP, M5 and half a dozen SLRs) and MF cameras and the Monochrom. The Monochrom is a little dangerous in that it gives MF detail with none of the time/inconvenience penalty of developing and scanning film. But since it doesn't smell of fixer (I am a hypo-addict!) there's no danger of me not using the film cameras. At the end of it all, you must do what you enjoy. Whenever I was asked if I wanted some chocolate roulade or some flan I always asked if I could have a little of each. Nothing changes!i'm toying with the idea of the MM, but it also brings up the question of why not just use b/w film. any idea of how the two would compare. say an M7 and tri-x vs the MM?

I laughed like hell when I read your post. The MM seems to handles low light curves quite well too.I have decided to bite the bullet and I am on the list at my local Leica shop. A couple of my film cameras will have to go to appease my wife but looking at the Dancer shot I think I am making the right decision. Love shooting low light and MM seems to handle it exceptionally well.
have to agree with this!! excellentAbsolutely one of the very best MM images to date. The extreme lighting conditions that were managed in this image, combined with the detail and tonality rendered are a testament to both the photographer and the camera. Bravo.
