sm23221 Posted March 12, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) My first outing with the M8 and Summicron 28mm f/2.0 was a pleasure. I'm very impressed with the image quality as well as its ease of use. Anyone using a tripod out there in good light? Even at 1/15th handheld the photos seem razor sharp. Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest sirvine Posted March 12, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 12, 2007 Sharpness and depth are really exceptional, even handheld. I bet that second image looks good at 100%, right? This camera has me pixel-peeping in the remotest corners of every shot. I actually catch myself shooting for details that are miles off on the horizon, just because I know they'll turn out beautifully. The downside of this is a tendency to favor busy compositions, just because the M8 can handle it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat_mcdermott Posted March 12, 2007 Share #3 Posted March 12, 2007 I thought my ability to handhold an M6 was good, but I've found myself to go even lower with the M8 and still get good results. 1/30th is no problem; I shot one shot at 1/12th yesterday that was spot on. Nice shots, by the way. Being in New York, I haven't seen green grass or leaves in quite some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrc Posted March 12, 2007 Share #5 Posted March 12, 2007 When you shoot landscapes, does it help the shot to NOT use the IR cut filter? Or is it always best to use the filter? JC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted March 12, 2007 Share #6 Posted March 12, 2007 I prefer to use a filter - the green always seems to be off otherwise - as chlorophyl reflects a lot of IR light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it always best to use the filter? JC I didn't use a filter but did notice some magenta surrounding the leaves of the oak tree against the sky. I simply desaturated the magenta to zero and it easily fixed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
