Hi all,

 

I escaped few minutes this afternoon to use for the first time my M9.

I could'nt wait for the week end as the weather was beautiful today in Montpellier.

 

Here are 3 pics with "( cron asph and 75 cron AA. both 160 iso )

First impressions about ergonomy: great, great, great.

 

All the best

This is terrible!

 

Hyperbole does little to enhance one's credibiltole. It's not "terrible", it's just what one gets sometimes with a hot (contrasty) lens and a hot (contrasty) subject in hot (contrasty) light. I'll bet you I can produce magenta fringes like that with any digital camera ever made or to be made in the future, in the equivalent situation.

you are right about the canon 85 1.8.

But, it's a two hundred dollar lens.

How much is a new lux 50 going for now?

Thanks

Tim

And , by the way, I have one.

This is NOT chromatic aberration.

This is NOT the lens.

And it is not the camera either, really. It is simply sensor overload. Every sensor in every camera does this, because there is no sensor that hasn't an overload limit. And if you haven't got that with a MF back, then it is because you haven't taken it outside.

 

In order to avoid this, you have to studiously avoid all picture opportunities against the light when there is a strongly reflective surface somewhere -- like water. And that is a big order indeed in a country like Sweden, with ten thousand lakes and more sea coast than any other European country except Norway and, just possibly, the combined British Isles (Orkneys included). Back to the box camera!

Lars, while sensor overload could occur, the sensor in the M9 has overflow protection and that is not what overload looks like. It is longitudinal chromatic aberration, happens with large aperture lenses in extreme contrast areas slightly outside of the plane of focus. I had it with my 35/1.4 Summilux-R wide open and also with my 90AA-R on both film and digital.

 

Sensor overload or "blooming" looks like a white smear as the surrounding pixels or entire columns are overloaded in a chain reaction.

 

If it were as simple as sensor overload, it would occur within the *exact* plane of focus as well.

Not just that, the demosaicing algorithms of the RAW converter have a strong influence. Convert these with C1, 4.8.2 and the purple fringes will virtually disappear. If any rest the solution is childishly simple. Lasso the offending areas, apply a decent feather, and desaturate magenta.

Don't really know about the cause, but the cure (seemingly) is simple. Literally 2 seconds work in C1 Pro. Select the Magenta in Color Editor, reduce it to zero, or any value you choose. Done!

Even faster way in C1 Pro. Tick the Purple Fringing box and it is gone :D
