Any brave soul dare to push 3-4 stops b&w shots on both M9 and M? (picture thread)

Sorry but i've been using Photoshop as well and your rectangles are not in my files.

Banding is what you can see above (post # 12) and below (as is and w. accentuation).

weird, maybe it gets different when one opens raw file instead of jpeg?

 

it looks nice though! When you posted in 12#, i thought it was applied with silverefex.

 

edit

 

I got idea and it may be jpeg compression thing that leica camera applied afterwards?

Those are just crops out of the jpeg file i've uploaded:

No rectangles in it.

lct, I believe you despite the non working link you posted.

 

the more I think about small rectangles, Im sure it is jpeg compression thing.

 

Thanks a lot!! As I said, it looks good, it gets better with Silverefex. I think that banding is weak at such large crop. So far, it is promising.

It is not my friend sorry.

I'll try to retrieve the file and upload it again.

In your file, I dont detect any rectangulars. Only wonderful grain

 

Digital world has own glitches that are unexplainable Sort of Matrix world.

Did you check the pixel grid, because it shouldn't look like that.

Jpeg compression doesn't look like that.

Hey lct, just a thought, I had a similar sort of thing on my M9, occasionally, which disappeared when I changed the SD card. Have you tried another brand of card?

 

This was my thread - M9 Banding

This post shows the banding - Here

And a card comparison - Here

I find the maximum ISO that can result in interesting results is, after pushing, about ISO 200,000. Fortunately the M9 is essentially iso-less and that allows you to do strange things with push-processing. This is on my the M9 with the original sensor - Allendale replaced my sensor very recently and it it somewhat cleaner. Of course, this type of push is not for the faint of heart....

A bit like this ?

i've checked it. as I said in earlier post, I first thought it was pixel grid but that feature was not on.

 

I think sd card corruption can be issue to that. I agree it is not jpeg comp. I remember when I DL'ed lct image in low speed internet connection before I got back to full speed. It could be algoritm corruption in transfer.

What i've shown above is a 20,000 iso pic resulting from pushing a 1250 one at the OP's request. I don't need to do that personally as clean 2,000 iso pics are enough for me.

its beautiful image. honeslty, it would be a good photo alone. Rules are meant to be broken.
