  1. I put my M8 aside for a few years as I was a little disappointed in it. Its ISO limits and poor dynamic range plus the limits of an optical finder with an old fashioned rangefinder were becoming increasingly apparent to me. But lately I have been giving it another go and have been using it, getting good results and enjoying it. Especially its color rendition. I always shoot in uncompressed RAW by the way. Looking back through my older images downloaded to my PC I noticed that many were not terribly sharp - despite the supposed benefits of having a sensor without an AA filter. I am not talking about the apparent sharpness when viewed on the camera's LCD which of course is terrible for this purpose, I am speaking about the images saved on my PC explicitly. I initially put this down to focus errors (mine) and its one reason I became discouraged from using the camera. But then recently I started seriously post processing many of these images with Adobe Lightroom rather than just leaving them on the PC. The thing I noticed is how well the M8 images which started out a tiny bit soft - or in some cases quite soft, sharpened up nicely without artifacts. In fact in my view they sharpen up much better than those of any other cameras and lenses I regularly use (and I use cameras by Nikon, Sony, Panasonic and Olympus). I should add that I am presently mainly using Lightroom for this and other processing. It set me thinking. Is this what they mean by the sharpness benefit of not having an AA filter over the sensor? I had expected that without an AA filter the images would be sharp right out of the camera even though the DNG images presumably get no in camera sharpening. But not so in my experience. Is this consistent with other people's experience of image sharpness from an M8. Do you find the M8 images respond to sensitive and well executed sharpening better than other cameras which presumably have an AA filter. BTW I used to use the Nik Sharpening Efex filter but now generally just use Lightroom's filter. This image started out a little soft out of camera but now looks quite acceptable for portrait purposes. The Look That Says it All by Life in Shadows, on Flickr
  2. I am using Capture One 4 to process the DNG files from my new M8.2. When I open the DNG files in Capture One Pro I can see the distinctive excellent sharpness from the M8. But when i export the files as TIFF or JPEG and view them in other programs like Photoshop, Lightroom or simply the Preview app (I am using a Mac) the sharpness is gone. I mean everything else is fine (color, tones, etc) but the exported file lacks the sharpness I can clearly see when i view the DNG in Capture One. I have not checked the Disable Sharpness box in the Output settings, so am I doing something wrong here ?
