vp*inside Posted December 7, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 7, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi there all I am posting for a first time to this Forum that I am attending though a little long ago. I own two M8 bodies full upgraded in Solms and I am many pleased from those and as cropping not a serious problem for me my thought was not to get and an M9 yet. But the so nice photos I saw from Photographers in this Forum and mainly the photos of Jonathan Slack from South West Crete (my country) who expresses with these excellent pictures my feeling of so known to me landscapes, all that have convinced me finally. And now I have in my hands a beautiful black M9 an aesthetic masterpiece and inside of the familiar M rangefinder body an unadorned digital perfection. I am keeping my favourite M8's though. But I think the Black M9 is a little ... less photogenic than the Grey-steel, as is my impression from its icons I saw in websites. But now in my hands what a beautiful was! And a question: Let me know someone please if there is a need for a IR/UV filter sometimes (wide angle?). And also if a UV filter as lens protective mainly has any influence on picture 's quality? Many thanks. ____________________________________ VP*INSITE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jager Posted December 7, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 7, 2009 Congrats on the new camera! Grey or Black... they're both good. Just an aesthetic preference. No, you don't need an IR filter, as you do on your M8. A UV filter will compromise optical qualities a tiny amount - as will any filter you place on the front of your lens. But a lot of folks use them anyway, feeling that the protection they afford is far more important than the very modest impact on image quality. Welcome to the forum...

Bo_Lorentzen Posted December 7, 2009 Share #3 Posted December 7, 2009 VP*INSITE Congratulations with your new camera. there is no practical need for UV/IR filters, particularly not with wide-angles, you can leave them on lenses 35 and longer (or at least that is how I understand it) wide angles you must remove the UV-IR filter. I have replaced most of mine with a regular UV filter to protect the lens from "stuff" and accidents. Edit: BTW. you can't trust Jono, he is one of those people you can give a toaster and a roll of film, and somehow he will come home with fantastic pictures. .

vp*inside Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted December 8, 2009 Many thanks Jeff for your reply and useful advices about filters on M9. and also Many thanks Bo for your advices and for the excellent humor about Jono and his photographic skill but there is not any need for a toaster in Crete and days are so hot there as a photo spurts automatically. ---------------------------------------------- VP*INSIDE [p.s sorry for my error in initial thread to write "INSITE"] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
