nhabedi Posted December 18, 2009 Share #21 Posted December 18, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I find the M9 quite usable at ISO 2500, even in colour: Paknampran | Leica M9 | Summicron-28 | ISO 2500 In this web snippet size, the face of the guy in the foreground looks to me as if there's some disturbing, and uneven, noise in it. Would you mind posting a blow-up of this detail? Thanks, Edi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind posting a blow-up of this detail?....Indeed, I would mind because I don't see any value in pixel-peeping, which is something that gives little indication of what a print looks like. I've made prints of three pictures in this snooker series shot at ISO 2500, and they look in terms of grain, reminiscent of a print from Fuji 400H film. —MItch/Bangkok Barrier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your reservations, I don't like pixel-peeping either. But in this case it's the best we have short of sending prints around by snail mail. I otherwise agree with "Ict" - you can't really say anything meaningful about the pictures at this size. However, if the noise already looks questionable to me in a 900x600 JPG, I reserve the right to remain skeptical... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share #26 Posted December 19, 2009 Those pics are too small to judge IMHO.Maybe they are, it is true, but the posters seem to be happy, and they have seen the full res/print. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Old Dog Posted December 19, 2009 Share #27 Posted December 19, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for the pictures folks. I am absolutly green with envy. My day is coming What I am able to discern from this small post is that this camera makes garden variety shots look special. I don't know if I'd get the same "feel" from optic test targets.

Understood, but am sticking to my "principles"; but here is a shot at ISO 1250 — not at all like this speed on the M8 — on which there might be less contention (Aperture + SIlver Efex using Tri-X grain simulation): Leica M9 | Summilux-50 | f/2.8 | ISO 1250 —Mitch/Bangkok Barrier series Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful smooth bokeh and the glow of the highlights. Has a timeless film look. And this was at 5.6 . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
