It's stressful waiting for the Q2 to arrive, the old Q made this shot while waiting.

A bunch of Q stuff, whilst I have no time to take the Q2 out as I'm stuck processing theatre images













One of many portraits

Your Q images are always awesome. Those cosplay portraits are jaw dropping.


Thanks!

All taken on the busy stall room floor, using the Q leaf shutter at 1/500th to darken the busy background whilst still working OK with hand-held flash in a softbox.

If I'd used a bigger camera than the Q, I'd really been hurting my wrist..

My experience is different: I'm finding that the Leica M-Looks presets — actually, the subset of Real Film Real Film (Typ 4) and Real Film (Typ 5) B&W, which can be purchased for $15 — are by far the best presets for a starting point to where I want to go with processing for any particular image file. I was hoping that some others might want to try them in order to see other views on this, particularly because these presets use a completely different way of processing than other LR presets that I have seen. As I mentioned preciously, I read in a couple of places that these presets were originally made to process M240 files to look like those of the M9. However, I find they work well even for M9 files, as well as M10 files —and are also good for my old Ricoh GRDx files.

M262 and VM 21mm f/3.5 Color Skopar

Wright Brothers Memorial in Kitty Hawk NC

The two lines in the center part of the frame are not weird lens flare but two jet contrails. Seemed fitting for the location of first in flight

I bought these today, to try on legacy images made by my now-sold M240.

I could not find any documentation on the characteristics of the different presets within the set.

Here is a comparison of the original file, using the standard LR CC Adobe-Standard preset, with the M-Look Type 5. I have sharpened the adobe Std image in line with the M-Look preset values.





#1. Summarit-M 90 f/2.5, M240, Adobe Std Lightroom preset. Sharpening matches #2







#2. Summarit-M 90 f/2.5, M240, M-Look type 5 preset

Off-topic regarding the M-Looks presets, but to my (Australian) eye the grevillea has the most appealing flowers I’ve ever seen.

Very nice. My issue with the M presets (vs the Kodachrome I reference earlier post) is that they only seem to use a fraction of Lightroom/Camera Raw's editing options. I prefer presets, when I do use them, that have tinkered with the camera profiles, curves, HSL, etc.

For fun, if you can, try either of your images run through Topaz Labs' AI Clear. (There is a free demo.)

Here is a quick shot from yesterday using AI clear (no other presets.)

Thanks for the suggestion. I've downloaded AI Clear and will give it a try.
