Re: Leica M8/M9/X1 Picture Thread


This thread builds up faster than you can keep up.

Thanks to all for the kinds words.
Gary, love the Canadian landscape shots with the 21 SEM. Beautiful country. Nice series of the graffiti covered walls as well with the ZM25
David, yes, didn\'t know SAP meets were fun until I was behind the M9
Katie, nice BW photos of evening light with long shadows.
asiafish, lovely series of photos.
AshNZ, loved the landscape photo of the Big Bend NP
Charlie, nice WA photos.
Sorry if I missed out anyone, but truly amazing and inspiring photos.

About the question by David as to go for the M9 or not, I am definitely not a long time user but judging by what I\'m seeing out of my M9 and the over all experience of using the system, I\'d definitely advice going in for it. For me, the overall image has a certain organic look and the colors have that depth which is difficult to reproduce in post from other sensors. I came across a thread on RFF where there is mention of the M9 sensor being developed to have the look of Kodak film. I like this look and the overall system has changed the way I shoot. I\'ve sold a lot of my excess DSLR stuff here locally to raise funds for M lenses.

Brings me to another question on using the M9 as a landscape camera. How do you use a CPL or an ND Grad with the M9?
