AlbertoDeRoma Posted January 31, 2010 Share #3 Posted January 31, 2010 Nice! Thank you for a nice overview of cool (and some needed) accessories. I got my new (to me) M8u less than a week ago and I am already getting quite attached to it. Problem is, I am also VERY attached to the Digilux 2. Now when I go out, I not quite sure what camera to bring. If I pimp the M8 too much, I'm afraid the D2 will not come out and play as often .

thirdwheel Posted January 31, 2010 Share #5 Posted January 31, 2010 Lovely details. I especically like the "Leica"engraving on the M9 top plate. Thanks for sharing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevem7 Posted January 31, 2010 Share #6 Posted January 31, 2010 Super! Love this latest addition to your M9 pages. Keep going! BTW, that engraving is something I would like to do eventually. Very nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry_R Posted January 31, 2010 Share #8 Posted January 31, 2010 Thanks! Question regarding X-RITE: Could it be used once for creation of few profiles, eg. based on light conditions, and used afterwards regularly - or it doesn't make sense, and we should repeat profile creation every shooting?

Overgaard Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share #10 Posted January 31, 2010 Thanks! Question regarding X-RITE: Could it be used once for creation of few profiles, eg. based on light conditions, and used afterwards regularly - or it doesn't make sense, and we should repeat profile creation every shooting? Good question. It's a software package and the "passport" to hold in front of the camera. And then basically no manual as it should run automatically. In fear for messing up something that works I haven't tried to do a profile. So wonder what I've missed. But it appears that you can easily create/export a camera profile from Lightroom, and also that it actually (as promised) automatically adjusts a series of imported pictures if the "passport" is in one of them. But I need to dig into it. I miss the possibility to see what's going on, like with a screen calibrator you can see the result with and without the calibration - and then make your choice.

chris_tribble Posted January 31, 2010 Share #11 Posted January 31, 2010 Thorsten - fun. FWIW you might also want to mention Mr Zhou's excellent half case. Beautifully made and excellent value for money. I bought one on a whim and have found it a very comfortable thing to hold. He only had the red stitching at the time I got mine, but I kind of like it. Quick to take on and off and really good for those days when you're carrying the camera around slung across the body - or where you're working with two cameras and you don't want them banging into one another. The other thing I'd mention is the Giottos / Schott glass screen protector. Simplicity itself to put on, totally un-obtrusive and a useful protection for a vulnerable part of any digital camera. A good compensation for the lack of quartz glass on the M9. Welcome, dear visitor!

Nicoleica Posted January 31, 2010 Share #13 Posted January 31, 2010 Chris, had you upset your M9 before taking those photographs? Or is it just me who thinks that there is a rather annoyed gleam in its eye? (The viewfinder window.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris, thank you for the pictures. Could you post a detailed image of the screen protector – esp. the edges, too? The most annoying issue of the M9 is the lack of sapphire glas. The Giotto protector seems to be an acceptable alternative... Thanks in advance, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richfx Posted January 31, 2010 Share #15 Posted January 31, 2010 Chris - I concur on the Giottos Aegis SP 8250. Very simple yet extremely useful. Tough to find, however. I also bought Mr. Zhou's half case - he is a great guy to work with - but it does not fit with my Thumbs Up EP-1. I explained this to Mr. Zhou, and he said after similar feedback from other customers, he is looking into a redesign (as Luigi has done) to accommodate the Thumbs Up. Hopefully it will be available soon. Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richfx Posted January 31, 2010 Share #16 Posted January 31, 2010 Tom: Here are photos of the Giottos Aegis SP 8250 on my M9 (also with Thumbs Up EP-1 without markings - stealth version and TU Boop). The SP 8250's corner edges are just slightly more angular than the M9's screen,but I have had no problems with it catching on anything (some have with the prior version).

Cheers, Rich Rich – Thanks a lot! Seems to be the missing thing. Compared to higher costs (apply sapphire glass by the customer service) this should work adequately. Any experiences removing it after a longer period of time? All the best from Munich, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted January 31, 2010 Share #18 Posted January 31, 2010 Not tried removing - but the instructions say use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive - sounds plausible... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonoslack Posted January 31, 2010 Share #20 Posted January 31, 2010 It was probably p****ed off I was using a Ricoh GRD2 to take it's portrait Hi Chris I'm sure your camera would have full respect for the nice little GRD2 . . . . . no, I reckon Nicole has it, and it's the red stitching that's causing it! incidentally - where can you get the SP 8250 from? I was looking for one in the UK and failed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
