I shoot 30+ years and recent few years gone serious in photography. I am a Leica noob, I've been using M for only 1+ year (since last March) and I've finally got the focusing issue fixed, and now I can see the IQ at different distant, lighting, aperture, etc... I own 4 Leica lenses on MP240 and I shoot wide open most of the time unless over exposure, shooting product, studio or shooting landscape. My work are mostly portrait & headshot. Here are my observations when shooting wide open. 1) 24mm lux, IQ is fine when uncropped, however, if I start to crop, then detail and contrast are badly diminishing as going further and further. 2) 35mm lux last version I think it's V3?, same as 24 but better. 3) 50mm lux, I cannot complain. I wish all my Leica lenses perform like this. It's sharp, high contrast and I can crop and crop and still good. 4) 90mm cron, as sharp as 50mm lux but must lower contrast in comparison. However, it's fixable using LR. My question.... I might have wrong expectations because I kind of using the 50mm lux as standard and expecting other lenses perform similar. I know wide angle lenses can't go as sharp but I was expecting better because it's price tag. Anyway, are my observations true or something is wrong with these lenses (or something wrong with my brain lol)? I wish to hear your thoughts if your shooting style is similar and owning similar lenses. Thank you.

I have a question - is there any way to jpg files from Leica M8 (v 2.024) reminded jpg Leica M9? Will exposure to -2/3, color: medium (example?)? Please help. I love the colors jpg with the M9. What can I set in my M8? Has anyone tried, maybe some settings will resemble the saturation of the M9?

Hi I am a new user of Leica X. I would like to know anyone here tried out the different menu settings for Film Mode, Sharpness, Saturation and Contrast. I have applied "standard" all the time. Wonder what would be a good combination. Also, do these settings affect the DNG file? Regards ML

Bad weather I like. Well, for photography that is... It can make an otherwise dull place that little bit more interesting. My home town is decidedly dull. Even duller on a rainy day. But I managed to get three shots that was worthwhile. This one of them, hope you like it! (M9 with an old 35mm Summicron)

Hello! I plan to take a few shots on PanF+ tomorrow. I want to get a somewhat higher contrast and not as much shadow detail (black background for portraits). As a developer I only have Rodinal available. Grain is no issue. Does anyone have recommendations for the developement? E.I. doesn't have to be 50. Thanks in advance!

Inspired by Sean's reviews I have bought one of the lower contrast CV lenses for my M8 to use in high contrast situations (e.g. sunny days). I like the results and I am wondering whether there are any filters available that achieve the same thing for my higher contrast lenses? A quick look at the B+W website didn't turn anything useful up. Does anybody here know of a solution?
