There is more flexibility to correct if necessary but there is a loss of nuance anyway Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tookaphotoof Posted January 10, 2014 Share #804 Posted January 10, 2014 I'll have a go with the M8.2 and my MP on different subjects when time permits. One downside of the M8 will be its crop, but I found the M9 to be way to expensive for not using it as a daily camera.

Doc Henry Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share #809 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Yesterday I make tests of FujiXpro1 versus Leica M8 Why Fuji because: -1 - Their sensor (Fuji XTrans - no moire-no low-pass filter) is very close to the film (like Velvia color and Acros b&w) -2 - Fuji also makes a ring for optical M , with electrical contacts (therefore transmitting the information to the camera) The results are really good. Pictures of XPro really like the film !

NJH Posted January 12, 2014 Share #810 Posted January 12, 2014 When I get round to it I am going to start putting some B&W shots taken with the X100 onto my flickr account (only signed up yesterday). With the orange filter emulation selected and variable amounts of -ve exposure compensation the results out of the camera are really fantastic. There are some good examples on flickr actually, but its a bit to clean and harsh on the edges compared to film. The M8 is better in that regard but I liked the tonality out of the X100 better, Fuji really nailed their film emulations but oddly I think the velvia preset is the worst one they did but its the one everyone gravitates towards. The Astia preset is really beautiful IMHO. When I get round to it I will load up the film shots I took over Christmas with XP2, Porta 400 and AgfaVista 200. I really liked being able to increase the saturation a touch on the Portra scans, gives two possible results in one film. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share #811 Posted January 12, 2014 Hi NJH, Agree with your opinion. I especially like the monochrome Xpro1 , particularly successful (with a camera that costs less than the MM) , but with a "smooth" picture, something I search for a long time, one backup camera that looks like film !

tookaphotoof Posted January 12, 2014 Share #812 Posted January 12, 2014 Henry, thanks for posting. When looking for a digital backup for my film Leica's I did consider to get an X-E1 or 2. The output of the camera looks more than good. The thing that put me off is the feel of the camera in terms of build quality and having to invest in yet another set off lenses. Absolutely love the M8.2 in daylight, although I'd never give up film for it. Shot a couple of photos on the beach yesterday with the Leica MP and a 35mm Summicron IV. From the moment I grab that camera out of the bag, I'm instantly happy. I guess that helps me taking better pictures, somehow. Nothing beats film.

Doc Henry Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share #813 Posted January 12, 2014 Tooka, M8 or M8.2 is one of the best camera for converting color to b&w (i think better than M9) with smooth pictures . It costs less than the MM now in second hand market. Furthermore,the conception of the Fuji X Trans sensor in XPro1 (like Foveon sensor in DP Merril) plays an important role in the results.

kanzlr Posted January 15, 2014 Share #819 Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks Kanz for posting , very nice colors , the Portra 400 one of my favorite film Thanks. I scan a linear TIF in VueScan and convert to positive with ColorPerfect. That does give great color with superb control over the process. Even odd film like Ferrania Solaris yields nice colors that way: Kaffeepause by Bernhard Fuhry, on Flickr Hexar RF + Summicron 40/2 Am Weg in die Westfjorde by Bernhard Fuhry, on Flickr 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
