I have a question for you all.. How well does the focus and recompose work with the M9? Don't think it is much of an issue stopped down, but how about wide open ? In other forums, a lot of M9 photos are composed dead center - which is rather boring. It does not seem to be the case here on this thread.

Nice series, Luka. My favorites are the first (the silhouette) and the Medusa(?) - last from the second set.

Thank you Charles. #2 and #3 for me. Very cool.

Luka, that shot of Medusa is very very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Dierk, Wonderful shots of your models. Excellent work. Also those opera shots, especially the one with the person walking in front of the building..

Gawwd, you guys are talented! Are there any other photo forums that I should visit to see such photos ? It is hard to find places where both artistic and technical merit come together.

d.topp, you are maybe the first person in internet, whose Noctilux photos are amazing and they were done not just for the sake of bokeh at f/0.95.


His photos are great, but you obviously haven't looked very hard. (sorry last link is the f/1.0 version, but you get my point).

That looks and awful lot like Currumbin beach Charles? Or could it be Snapper?

Nice shot,

It's a very complex techique that invloves first focusing and then recomposing No, but seriously it's no problem although it is a distinct disadvantage with the rangefinder patch compared to the ground glass of a DSLR where you can focus anywhere and not just in the center. I had to change my routine from compose-and-focus to focus-and-compose or compose-focus-compose again.

Essentaially it's the same method you use with an AF camera when you use the center point for focusing. The only difference is that here you have to do it manually.

Great pics everyone. I'm curious as to the viewfinder coverage on an M8. I am looking at finding out the widest FL I can use without an external VF. I have heard that on the M9 you can go to approximately 25mm by using the entire VF. What could I get away with on the M8? It doesn't need to be exact but a guesstimate would be fine....

On the M8, the 24mm frame lines are pretty close to the edges of the vf
