p.654 #1 · Leica M8/M9/X1 Picture Thread

Thanks Edward, Charles, Joe and Michael.

Andrew, nice b&w set.
Ryan, good set from the zoo. How do you like the 90 AA by the way? The tower is used for hunting and I think the english term is hunting stand. It is mostly used for hunting moose.
Charles, nice to see some from the seashore from you again. The first one is excellent and both makes me long for my 28 cron that is in Solms. Very nice portrait as well.
Michael, I too enjoyed the processing of the first set and like the b&w with the 21 Biogon.
Edward, good luck with new Zeiss. My new 18 Distagon has arrived but I am not in Stockholm now so I haven't collected it yet but I'm looking forward to start using it.

Michael, Edward, Joe and Joakim, thank you for the kind comments

Edward, an almost Zeissy look, similar to the ZM 50/1.5 Sonnar @ f/1.5

Michael, really nice set of shots in composition and PP'ing

Joakim, beautiful tones and serene composition!

Ryan, the middle penguin shot is superb! May I ask which lens did you use?

Charles, I really like the second shot of the surfer, extremely well executed!

PS. I want to work in your office

Nice Noctilux portrait!

Zhangyue, Your images almost have a cross processed look, they are very interesting. Well done! The second set is interesting with the biogon - I like the bicycle shot.

Airfrogusmc, love the 35 lux!

Joakim, shooting snow isn't the easiest, well done.

Thank you everyone for the comments, much appreciated.

More from the shoot...

Easy. Just photograph a ruler at 45 degrees on tripod, at every f/stop from 1.5 to 5.6.

If the 1.5 shot is front focused, it's optimized for 2.8, if the the 1.5 is spot on and 2.8 is back focused, it's optimized for wide open.

This test will help me find out if the lens has any other focus calibration issues.

I will also do an infinity test at the same apertures.

By the way, thank you Joe, Joakim, for your kind words.

Joakim, the ZM is a great lens, I'm sure you'll like it. Just be prepared to use some Cornerfix occasionally. Love the cool tones in the snow shot.

Andrew, very high caliber stuff as usual.

Allen, very nice auto-portrait. Now I know why people don't dare to protest when you take their photo

Joakim, nice rendering
Andrew, the 105 nikon is crazy good, how difficult to focus ? 75lux portrait is awesome too.
