Hello, Monochrom users/B&W shooters - There is some overlap between B&W digital and film based shooting and printing in this post; I am not sure which sub-forum would be the best location for this, so I will place it here since it does address the Monochrom and printed image quality. I am planning to do more black and white work than I have been doing for the past year or so and am trying to determine which of the following methods will result in the best full frame (no cropping in post processing) printed image quality for large size prints. I did a forum search prior to starting this thread, but did not find any information that specifically addresses my questions. There are several routes to achieve this end; some are more difficult, time and labor intensive and/or costly than others. I want to stay with the M system as the foundation of making these prints. My intent is to produce gallery quality fine prints while using my M cameras and lenses. In thinking about this, my prime concern is this - I am concerned only with creating the ultimate in print quality that can be made at sizes of 14x20 inches or 16x24 inches. These parameters bring me to the following alternatives - A: M Monochrom 246 with inkjet printing B: M-P 240 black and white conversion in Lightroom with inkjet printing C: M-P 240 black white conversion in _____________ (pick a software program) with inkjet printing D: Film M camera negatives with traditional darkroom silver printing (pick a film emulsion and developer) E: Film M camera negatives scanned with inkjet printing (pick a film emulsion and developer) The above possibilities give rise to two questions - 1: Which of the above methods will best achieve my desired end result? 2: Is there a method that will achieve my end result better than the five above mentioned alternatives? Any insights on this issue and on these questions will be greatly appreciated. (Moderators, feel free to move this thread if there is a more appropriate place for it to be located). -
Hello, We are running another Leica adademie based photowalk on the 30th of January 2016 in the centre of Bristol. Robin Sinha, from the Leica Academie Mayfair will join us and provide a valuable insight into the Leica M system. This practical day will teach you how to get the best from a rangefinder camera and take classic "decisive moment" photography that Leica is renowned for. the day will start at 10.30am, there will be a Leica M body and lens for each attendee to try (as well as X and T system) and will consist of the following: 10.30am – 11.00am – Robin Sinha will introduce you to his work with a short talk using his own images to demonstrate Leica Photography. 11.00am - 11.30am - Review and mini-critique of attendees images (attendees are asked to bring 4 images on a USB stick that represent their photography) 11.30am - 12.30pm Familiarisation with the Leica camera range prior to photowalk. 12.30pm – 1.00pm – Lunch break 1.00pm – 2.30pm – Photowalk around Bristol using the Leica cameras provided 2.30pm onwards – Back to the studio for image review and critique. 4pm approx - finish The location will be a bit different to the last one, probably based around the temple meads/temple quay area so right next to the main train station. If you wish to book a place on the course, please email bristol@lcegroup.co.uk or call 0117 9291935. Please let me know if you have any queries and look forward to seeing you there. Tom
