arthury Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share #2 Posted January 6, 2007 So far, the easiest lens to focus on the M8 is my 24mm mainly due to the largest composing real-estate and the fairly forgiving DoF. This will probably be my fav outdoor walkabout lens on my M8. What do the others think? What are your favorite walkabout lens on the M8? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_dykstra Posted January 7, 2007 Share #3 Posted January 7, 2007 That is a wonderful photo. I like the composition, the focus, the poses and the buried hands which tell of the weather at the time - cold. Well done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 7, 2007 Share #4 Posted January 7, 2007 Arthur - Of course the children are adorable, but what really hits me about this well framed portrait is the delightful softness of tones and light. Very charming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardhagen Posted January 7, 2007 Share #5 Posted January 7, 2007 Arthury, Beautiful children, beautiful photo! I am considering purchasing an M8 and I too have the 24 lens that I used on my M6. I was wondering, did you have you 24 lens coded for the M8? And which viewfinder did you use on your M8 to take this image? Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arminw Posted January 7, 2007 Share #7 Posted January 7, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Nice picture and I love the composition! I would be interested if the 24 is better and easier then the new 28 elmarit? Once I get my M8 I want to add one of those lenses , but not sure which one. I just want one, which is easy to focus and as one member said before DOF should be more forgiving . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering, did you have you 24 lens coded for the M8? And which viewfinder did you use on your M8 to take this image? Richard Richard, I was using the M8 viewfinder(VF) without the external VF one. I tested both and I find that the M8 24m framelines are more accurate. My lenses are not coded ... yet. I am just waiting for Leica to drain away some of their workload before I add more ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthury Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share #10 Posted January 7, 2007 Thanks, Andy, Armin, Peter, Richard, Stuart & Rick. Well, as for the lighting condition, I was just taking advantage of the NW light here in the Seattle area. It's like that many months of the year ... nice even lighting for outdoor portraits.

richardhagen Posted January 8, 2007 Share #11 Posted January 8, 2007 Thank you Arthury! When you have the time, please post more photos. Just wondering, what is the difference in performance between a lens that's coded and one that's not coded? Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthury Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share #12 Posted January 9, 2007 Thank you Arthury! When you have the time, please post more photos. Just wondering, what is the difference in performance between a lens that's coded and one that's not coded? Richard I just coded my 24mm today and I noticed that the AWB for incandescent light is very pleasing to my eyes, although it's not a neutral white, it's not a yellowish tint either but looks more like a cooler evening outdoor overcast light. The same thing happened with the 35mm lens when I coded it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicamann Posted January 9, 2007 Share #13 Posted January 9, 2007 Definitely. a tricky shot , given the low light..but you captured all the subtlties..well done. Thanks for sharing Regards, Leicamann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
