Bill Sievers Posted January 30, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted January 30, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I liked the first comment made to this shot. Anyone considering the M8 might want to take note. I certainly agree with him. Â 52 Pickup on Flickr - Photo Sharing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted January 30, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted January 30, 2007 I agree with what you say about it looking more like film than a digital image, but it's the processing that's made it look like this IMHO. I suspect you could do the same with any modern dSLR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Sievers Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share #3 Â Posted January 30, 2007 I have a D200, a D70 and a Ricoh GRD. I can't get them to look like this. Maybe I should try harder ;-) I shot two rolls of Neopan this week with the M6. Lets see how I feel after I see the results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stnami Posted January 30, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted January 30, 2007 put tri-x in a chipDepends on how old you are some may think that she is picking up some spilt chips, young ones may think that tri-x is a type of dinosaur.... only those brought up on a diet of film will understand easy on a Ricoh GRD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Sievers Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share #5 Â Posted January 30, 2007 Don't get me wrong, I love the GRD. But it does not satisfy my film jones. This M8 comes pretty damn close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted January 30, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted January 30, 2007 I don't see much grain on this pic, Bill. Could you show a 100% crop? Here a 100% crop at 400 iso from the R-D1 to compare: Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 30, 2007 Share #7 Â Posted January 30, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I don't think digital HAS to look like film after all, why should a motorcar look like a horse and buggy? . Seriously though - I think we should get away from these comparisons and judge every photograph in its own right, irrespective of the mechanics of the capture. Having said that, this is indeed a nice endorsement of the M8 - and the photographer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Sievers Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share #8 Â Posted January 30, 2007 As it happens I have an RD1 as well and I love the results from that camera (particularly low light color). But I am constantly worrying that its gonna tank on me one of these days. Â I have had many film users comment on my images on Flickr. This is the first comment comparing the digital product to film. I believe the commentor is an avid film shooter as well. Â I am not advocating the M8 as a substitute for film. I support my local photo processor ;-) But I like to get a film like atmosphere in certain types of images and the M8 is a great tool for this purpose.

lct Posted January 30, 2007 Share #10 Â Posted January 30, 2007 ...I am constantly worrying that its gonna tank on me one of these days... Ha ha! i don't know what to tank means but i'm so confident in the R-D1's quality that i've bought a R-D1s just in case the latter falls apart. Now could you show some 100% crops if you don't mind? I'd like to see if B&W pics need some serious PP out of the M8 to become 'film like' so to speak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
