As you may or may not know I have the 5DII and the ZE\'s lenses, 21, 35, 50/1.4, 50MP, 50/1.4, 85/1.4 and 100MP. Great setup for only when a DSLR will do. Personally, I love the M9. It is not for everyone, nor is a DSLR. Steep learning curve, but I am now using the M9 about 95% of the time. It is a serious FF camera that is light, unobtrusive and fun. I carry the camera a lot of time because I can, without looking like a geek. Portrait shots are a lot more natural because I find people are more at ease, or maybe it is just me not feeling like I am intruding. Last evening\'s shot were basically a walk on the beach with the M9 and one other lens, the ZM 25/2.8 and a Gitzo 531 tripod which is very light, for the after dusk shots. Just fun
PP is slightly different. With the M9, I resize with Adobe bridge using Tools\\Photoshop\\Image processor in 4 steps, 3000, 1500, 1000 and 850px with a sharpening stage in each. Everyone has different sharpening levels and does depend on the image. The first stage I sharpen once or twice using only in the luminosity channel, usually about 100/0.7/5 . There after only 80/0.2/5 in downsizing level. Virually no PP. I use curve correction for the M9 from ChromoSoft and use WB set to daylight for example in the above 3 shots. Having CS5, I keep it simple and having some work in progress profiles when converting the RAW DNG files.
Thanks Luka I suppose I am traveling light, keeping to 1 or 2 lenses while I am learning. Next week I will test the 90 Elmarit.
Congratulations on your M9.
