mwilliamsphotography Posted January 16, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted January 16, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Was working in NYC all last week and had a few moments to "street hunt" with the M8. Now that I have the hang of the camera, I was curious how it stacks up to previous street excursions with my film Ms. Plus it's a chance to hone my candid skills for the wedding work that pays the bills. Â IMO this is the "go to camera" for color street images. Variable ISO and color temp makes it an obvious choice for me ... although I rarely used color film for this type of shooting, I probably will do so more now. Â B&W I'm not so sure about. The M8 B&W files are very nice, but lack the visceral emotional feel of films like Tri-X ... ( I think I just heard a sigh of relief from my MP3 : -) Â However, I do think the M8 is getting it closer to B&W film than say my Canon's, even with R glass mounted. Â Here are a few B&W street shots from the M8. Mostly ISO 640 using three lenses I took with me: 24/2.8 ASPH, 34/1.4 ASPH and the 90/2 AA ... all with IR filters mounted.
