abrewer Posted December 17, 2006 Share #2 Posted December 17, 2006 Nice shootin' Woody. Would you consider posting some of your results over in the appropriate sections of the Photo Forum? Thanks. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest malland Posted December 17, 2006 Share #5 Posted December 17, 2006 Nobody said that the M8 cannot produce excellent files and great detail; but just because your type of photography does not produce the probloems that some other people have now found on the reissued camera doesn't mean that your M8 doesn't have these defects, even if you think its cute to put the word defective in quotes. A lot of Leica users shoot much more at the edge than your pictures above, in much more problematic light. —Mitch/Bangkok http://www.flickr.com/photos/10268776@N00/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a poor choice for fast action - a limitation of the RF design. We don't know how it will hande heavy rain. And it has a serious image quality problem (which I have been able to reproduce) when you push the limits of available light. When it matters I tend to reach for the flash when it gets dark because even with a Canon 1DsII my proportion of keepers falls off in bad light. That doesn't mean, of course that Leica shouldn't fix the high ISO problem. I don't feel strongly about the IR issue. We used UV filters for decades because of silver halide's over-sensitivity to UV. The ICC profiles approach is also fine as far as I'm concerned. I believe Leica's explanation that the issue results from a design trade-off that facilitates these remarkably detailed files.
