Joe, thank you I am still getting grips with the PP\'ing as there are so many variables. I am finding testing and adjusting the curves, definitely non linear, is getting some interesting results. The exposure for landscapes tends to be underexposed, so as to not burn the highlights, so the curves have to be adjusted accordingly. I am recording both dng + fine jpegs, and testing the different presets on the M-M. My logic here that a lot of thought much have gone into getting these jpegs correct. I find when I view the files in LR4, the histograms are very different for the jpeg and dng.
Adam, loved those shots from the wedding! Even it was not a M9 Seriously, with the onslaught of new cams at Photokina, the choice for great cams is going to be endless The new Sony, almost looks to be a Leica killer!
Yes B&W should be from the M-M, should be pure B&W The toning I use, is probably stronger than what I normally use. I\'m just keeping it consistent for now. But with printing B&W, the papers I use tend to be warm, and it is the look I prefer is usually a hint of toning. I am not convinced with the toning how it is translating from my screen in LR4/CS6 to how it is appearing on my website, and then in different forums. I need to look more closely at the color management here, as this would need to be sRGB for the raw DNG M-M files, whereas I normally use ProPhoto for the M9
