andym911 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share #383 Posted July 25, 2011 Andy,splendid photo! What version of the Tele-Elmarit 90/2,8 is it, please (fat or slim?). I only know the later (slim) version. Among the 90 mm lenses, it is one of my favourites, because it is so compact (like an Elmar), light-weight, and very good from f/4 on, and often gives interesting results even at f/2,8 (I like the out-of-focus areas at f/2,8 with it). Best regards, Telyt2003 HI, It is the slim version....like due to its very samll size, sits just perfect on the M8 and as you say even at 2.8 it is very sharp and nice OOF. Again for the price a winner IMO. Thanks for the comments. best andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted July 25, 2011 Share #387 Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, R, Welcome to the forum. Great picture! I notice that your file number is L9997775, which means you've either taken nearly 10 million shots with your camera - or - your file numbering has been reset to L9990000 by a software update. This happened to me during a software update. Eventually there's a risk that the number will reach L9999999 and then start over and you might overwrite and lose some older pictures when you download new ones from your card if they turn out to have the same number. If you want to reset your M8's file numbering to prevent this from happening then here's how: (it looks complicated but it's really not:o) 1. Set the Picture Number in the menu to "Standard". 2. Format the SD card in camera. 3. Reset the File Number in the menu. It actually says “Reset fold. No”, that is the one you want. 4. Set Picture Number back to "Continuous" 5. Take one image 6. Shut off camera, remove SD card and place in card reader attached to a computer. 7. Access the image in your Finder or Explorer (Mac or PC); rename the image number to whatever file number/image number you want. A suggestion is Lyyyxxxx, with "y" being your preferred folder number (See Note Below) and "x" being the frame number you want to start with. (You are making these changes to the file name on the card in the card reader.) 8. Properly remove card from card reader and return to camera. 9. Turn the camera on and press "Play". The file will now display with newly renamed folder and file number. (Use "Info" to see this data.) 10. Expose another image to confirm and check file numbers. 11. Format SD card, and you are good to go from that point on. NOTE If you want to change the first or second digit of the L100 (Lyyy above) in the file name, like to L200 or 120 or 220, then you have to change the folder name also. The directory/folder structure on the card when in a card reader is [Drive Letter]:\DCIM\100LEICA\. You need to change the 100LEICA to whatever you want the file number to start with. Like if you want it to be L200xxxx then you need to rename that folder to 200LEICA. If you want L120 then you need to change that folder name to 120LEICA. It would look like this [Drive Letter]:\DCIM\120 or 200LEICA Credit to Shootist for the above. HTH, Pete. Edited July 25, 2011 by farnz 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Format SD card, and you are good to go from that point on. (...) Credit to Shootist for the above. HTH, Pete. Pete, thank you very much for communicating the recipe! Sorry for my off-topic reply here: My experiences with the 'L999...-numbering' of images may perhaps be of interest, albeit I do not know what to learn from them (except to try your/Shootist's recipe next time): With different (early) M8s, I have made at least 25.000 images starting with L999... Whenever I aksed the LCS what could be done about it, I at best got the general reply "Attention. Reset the image number" which evidently didn't work . I tried different things similar (at that time not exactly) to what you propose, but the image numbering always switched back from L100... to L999... after a short while, sometimes with a 'freshly' formatted card, but often 'in the middle' of using one and the same card, DURING shooting! For sure, I always 'format' every SD card before using it, I use an external card reader, I never change or delete images on the cards via the computer, and I ONLY use the cards (Panasonic and SanDisk) for the M8. (...)I notice that your file number is L9997775, which means you've either taken nearly 10 million shots with your camera - or - your file numbering has been reset to L9990000 by a software update. This happened to me during a software update. Eventually there's a risk that the number will reach L9999999 and then start over and you might overwrite and lose some older pictures when you download new ones from your card if they turn out to have the same number. Don't know if this scenario really happened to you, but I can report that to me it happened twice without harming the images (no guarantee though - and the programmes I use would never overwrite images just because the names are doubled): Both times, when I had reached the image number L9999999, the M8 just totally 'froze' after I had tried to shoot another image (and both times, I had not noticed my camera approaching this 'magical number', last time with FW 2.004). Nothing helped afterwards (camera could not be shut off) except taking out the battery for a while. After reinserting the battery (and the SD card), the camera could be shut on and then displayed the message "Reset folder number", however, the respective option was MISSING in (had disappeared from) the menu. The work-around (with FW 2.004) was to insert another SD card, and to 'format' it in the camera: After this, the "Reset folder number" option reappeared in the menu ... For sure, I have quite same doubled, tripled, quadrupled (et cetera) image names starting with L100... and L999... This recurrent unwanted reset to 'L9990001', with my M8s, did not occur during one of the firmware updates (once, the numbering was reset to 'L1000001' afterwards).

Patman Posted July 28, 2011 Share #390 Posted July 28, 2011 Taken with M8, 35mm Summaron, f11@1/60 at an ISO of 640. I was racing a thunderstorm, just minutes after taking this it poured like crazy. It killed my afternoon with my dog Mike, we intended on spending the day taking pictures. Welcome, dear visitor!

Dougg Posted July 28, 2011 Share #391 Posted July 28, 2011 Patman, you got some nice light ahead of the storm! Just a few miles east of the Columbia River in Central Washington, this stack of hay bales was covered with tarps in a way to trigger the imagination. Leica M8, 35mm Summicron 8-element (v.1) I've owned since new. Good to see it performing well with recent digital RFs, and so it's now been permanently 6-bit coded. Welcome, dear visitor!

SJP Posted August 3, 2011 Share #396 Posted August 3, 2011 Taken with M8, 35mm Summaron, f11@1/60 at an ISO of 640. I was racing a thunderstorm, just minutes after taking this it poured like crazy. It killed my afternoon with my dog Mike, we intended on spending the day taking pictures. 35/2.8 or 3.5? Either way that is a very nice picture. The 35/2.8 Summaron was the lens that convinced me that Leica is not quite normal. I.e. I went for it hook line and sinker & remain doomed. @buranca, I am even starting to like the old dog Hector 135 - quite incredible, especially considering the low (in Leica world) prices they demand. NB @patman, was dog Mike fully aware of your plans? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
