Here are four shots taken with the Summilux-50 pre-ASPH: the first one is with the M-Monochrom (ISO 1250) and the three colour pictures (ISO 640) with the M9-P. On the processing, for M-Monochrom files I usually just use Lightroom 5, although sometimes I apply a VSCO preset: mainly \"Neopan 1600-\" (without the grain) and \"Tri-X-\". However, I find that for some pictures I cannot get the \"depth\" I want unless I use Silver Efex — the trouble is that it\'s a \"trial-and-error\" process and I never know in advance when Silver Efex will work better. For the M-Monochrom shot below I used Silver Efex with some dodging and burning in Lightroom. Then, after I had the picture looking like I thought I wanted it, I accidentally clicked on a colour VSCO preset, \"Fuji Superia 400-\", which gave the look that I wanted.
For colour with M9 files, I\'ve generally found that I can the colours and light that I want by just using Lightroom, and that using either VSCO or Replichrome presets, which I\'ve been trying out, doesn\'t add anything. That is how the picture of the stuffed wolf with necklace was processed. However, for the other two colour pictures, I found that using the Replichrome \"Fuji Pro 400H Frontier+\" preset gave the luminance that I wanted (with further slight adjustments in Lightroom).
