Advertisement Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Hi wslam, Take a look here M9 + New 50 Noct, a few images. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lct Posted December 1, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 1, 2009 Very nice indeed. May i ask if you applied some sharpening in PP? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wslam Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted December 1, 2009 Very nice indeed. May i ask if you applied some sharpening in PP? Thank you. I only applied sharpening in LR, then Smugmug applies a little sharpening after resizing. I shot the B&W JPG with Sharpening off in-camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brill64 Posted December 1, 2009 Share #4 Posted December 1, 2009 when i opened the the full size jpg it has quite prominent horizontal banding..is it just my monitor? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianman Posted December 1, 2009 Share #5 Posted December 1, 2009 Very nice ! I'm happy to see the noise/grain of the iso1600 is actually quite pleasing ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wslam Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted December 1, 2009 when i opened the the full size jpg it has quite prominent horizontal banding..is it just my monitor? Are you using Firefox? I have noticed that FF tries to scale the image down, and you will see some artifacts from the scaling. Just click on it to view at 100%, better yet, open up the image in PS or something. I do not see any banding at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wslam Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted December 1, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) The ISO1600 shot was probably pushed a little more in LR, but the grain structure is acceptable to me. Ok, so I am used to noise free ISO3200 with the D700/D3, but the M9's simplicity and directness are certainly a breath of fresh air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted December 2, 2009 Share #8 Posted December 2, 2009 Beautiful shots. I've got the old Noct (which I very much love), but these kind of images sure make me hanker after the new version! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicamann Posted December 3, 2009 Share #10 Posted December 3, 2009 I see absolute NO BANDING WHATSOEVER.. I have a calibrated Eizo monitor that is ruthlessly accurate with color. I think people are always trying to find some fault or flaw. In fact these images are EXACTLY what you SHOULD expect of Leica, they are beautiful , stunning and flawless.... they show clearly how Leica has seriously gotten into digital. Its a beautiful combo, don't listen to the nay sayers, and IF or IF you didn't apply USM , it wouldn't make one iota of difference to me or detract from what I am looking at. So congratulations, take good care of your Leica and make sure you carefully archive those beautiful shots. Thanks for sharing Cheers, JRM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

innerimager Posted December 3, 2009 Share #12 Posted December 3, 2009 I am very happy with my 50 lux asph and my pre-asph nocti.... but images like these indicate that the new nocti is a very, very special lens. Bravo! best....Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
