wilfredo Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share #582 Posted September 1, 2014 The M8 continues to be a fantastic camera. I gave mine up to help pay for the MM, otherwise I would still be using it! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used my M8 with the 6 element Summicron-M 35. PP is with Lightroom 4.1. Just adding a little extra Contrast (+17) and Luminence (+5) and finished it with some vignetting (-15). Resizing to 960pixels and medium sharpening for screen. That's all 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nr90 Posted September 14, 2014 Share #593 Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Leica M8, Voigtlander 21mm f4 Cool pictures! I'm new to photography and I was curious why you used ISO 320 and a pretty fast shutter speed instead of ISO 160 and a slower shutter speed for the first pic?

I can't speak for hhmrogers of course but some people like the digital noise produced by the M8 at ISO 320 or 640, which slightly resembles film grain and adds a little 'grittiness' to some pictures, especially in b&w. YMMV. Pete. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV. Pete. Thanks to both of you! As Pete suggests, I don't find the digital noise at ISO 320 and 640 intrusive in the types of picture that interest me. That's just a personal preference of course and others might well disagree completely. The two pictures of the Kuala Lumpur Petronas towers were exposed at ISO 640 because the monochrome one was shot through a three-stop red filter which needed 1/180s and the colour one with a red flower in the foreground was well stopped down to give me sufficient depth of field so that needed 1/125s. Vertical perspective was corrected in software of course. The two shots out at Kuala Selangor were shot at ISO 320. While the small boy on the cannon (made me think of 'Kim') was shot at 1/500 I wouldn't call that particularly fast. The two girls with the Silver Leaf monkeys were shot at 1/30th - I was a bit closer and stopped down more as a result. I did begin with film and first went to Malaysia in 1964 (with a IIIg which I bought in 1959 and still use fairly often). It's surprising how little light there can be during the day for some subject matter so I pushed Tri-X to ASA 800 as a matter of course. The first picture here, which is there to make the point, was with that IIIg, a 5cm Summicron and Tri-X, sometime in 1964 when I was working on a mapping project in Sarawak. I have no record of exposure details, film speed apart, but the stop would have been chosen to give me the depth of field I wanted and the shutter speed obtained by metering. I've posted a couple more recent M8 with Voigtlander 21mm pictures. The first, the KL night scene in Jalan Alor, that home of good eating, was exposed at ISO 640 and I just about got away with 1/45s. I didn't want to use ISO 1250 if I could help it. The monochrome, which I'm only really posting as a technical example, was taken out in a boat at Kuala Selangor while we were looking for fireflies (they'd all gone home to bed!). I used ISO 2500 and the exposure was 1.5 seconds! The water was very smooth and I was able to rest my hands against something but even so I'm surprised the palm fronds are reasonably sharp. It's surprising how well Lightroom pulls up data! I'm not sure it's really a picture though! All the M8 pictures referred t0 were shot as RAW btw. Welcome, dear visitor!

Nicman Posted September 14, 2014 Share #596 Posted September 14, 2014 Hi everybody! New owner to a M8 with a Voightlander 35mm 1.4 Nokton. My question is.. There are a lot of beautiful B&W pics in this thread, do you guys use the Mono mode or is it post processing? Thanks in advance! Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhmrogers Posted September 14, 2014 Share #598 Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks for sharing!I really like the one from Sarawak Thanks NR90! I made a couple of short (3minutes, 2minutes) videos built round my B&W Leica stills. If you will forgive a shameless plug and are sufficiently interested, have a look at: The survey project was terrific fun and quite a physical challenge in those days; my photography was purely incidental to it. It really doesn't feel that all that was half a century ago! What I love about the M8, and about an M-E that I also have, is that they feel as familiar in my hands as my IIIg. I did for a time have an MP (recent times version). It was a super camera but I never developed much affection for it and was happy to trade it in to help fund the M-E. The M8 and the M-E are sufficiently different from each other to keep me interested in both. There are a few other of my videos in the same place but none of them have a Leica dimension.

hhmrogers Posted September 14, 2014 Share #599 Posted September 14, 2014 Hi everybody! New owner to a M8 with a Voightlander 35mm 1.4 Nokton. My question is.. There are a lot of beautiful B&W pics in this thread, do you guys use the Mono mode or is it post processing? Thanks in advance! Nick Nick, I can only speak for myself of course but I always (cock-ups excepted) shoot DNG and post process. I don't go for presets but use channel mixer. As mentioned above I do some of the work in Lightroom but use PainShopPro for the rest. If I'm trying to exploit the IR potential of the M8 I put a deep red filter in front of the lens in place of the UV/IR-cut one, I'm thinking more in terms of Ilford SFX than the more extreme IR films though I did play around with them too in the past.
