jmahto Posted October 14, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 14, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was stuck with 28mm on M9 at this stage performance. I was happy to get usable shots for my personal memory. I am not in a hurry for M240 and keeping M9. First file is straight out of camera. Second is processed in LR5 Third is 100% crop. ISO 640 shot, no noise reduction. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Advertisement Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Hi jmahto, Take a look here M9 low light stage shot (not in a hurry for M 240). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
anupmc Posted October 14, 2013 Share #2 Posted October 14, 2013 Personally, I would not consider that as "low light"... Like most stage gigs, there's plenty of light, you just need to meter or expose correctly and not be distracted by the darkness elsewhere around ISO 200, 1/45, f2.8, 90mm, with minimal post, no NR applied (the band's Tame Impala) Welcome, dear visitor!

anupmc Posted October 17, 2013 Share #4 Posted October 17, 2013 Thanks Tommy… yeah, they're an excellent band … I did manage to capture lots of great shots that day (probably inappropriate to post more in this thread) … I wish I was a lot closer to the stage though, I envy the official photogs. Gig shots are always tricky with the usual crazy lighting that goes on... one really needs the full dynamic range of the M9 to get really good shots, forcing the use of low ISO, so correct exposure is a constant "battle". If anything pushes me over the edge to the 240, it's the improved dynamic range .. it's hard to fix in post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anupmc Posted October 19, 2013 Share #5 Posted October 19, 2013 Couldn't agree more Paul... go manual or go home That 2nd shot's excellent! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyField Posted November 8, 2013 Share #6 Posted November 8, 2013 That is certainly not "low light". IMHO, low light is when you need ISO 6400, 1/60 sec, F1.4. The M9 is certainly reasonable performer up to ISO 1600 and marginal higher. The sensor can really start to show problems even at 1600 - I don't really trust the M9's (3 different ones) to have a sensor that that gives reliable results. If you need better more reliability and performance, other cameras are much more suitable. None the less, here is a shot that I would consider to be "medium low light" (ISO 1600, 1/90 sec F1 or F1.4 on the Noctilux) Welcome, dear visitor!

Not my experience. But you have to know the limits of the M9 and your post processing. (...)None the less, here is a shot that I would consider to be "medium low light" (ISO 1600, 1/90 sec F1 or F1.4 on the Noctilux) Look at the corners: seems to be ISO 1600 - pushed two stops in post. Or you've tried to pull too much from the blue channel (Color correction in post?). Only guesswork, because your picture doesn't have an embedded color profile. And what is this purple / magenta horizontal line? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photomac Posted November 10, 2013 Share #8 Posted November 10, 2013 (...)These two examples(...) Hm... First picture Nikon D3x? Second picture - the blue one - Nikon D800? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsgary Posted November 14, 2013 Share #9 Posted November 14, 2013 Correct but as I was talking about exposure technique it doesn't matter what sort of camera you are using, the way that the picture is exposed is the same. Now whats your point other than proving that you can download an image and read exif data??? I thought the D3 and D800 were better than that my old 5D and 1Dmk2 shots @ iso1600 look on a par 1Dmk2 @ iso1600 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted November 15, 2013 Share #10 Posted November 15, 2013 Guys, there are restrictions about posting non-Leica shots Basically not allowed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyField Posted November 15, 2013 Share #11 Posted November 15, 2013 Not my experience. But you have to know the limits of the M9 and your post processing....And what is this purple / magenta horizontal line? That is the problem.... I am finding the limits of the M9 too easily. The streaking is one of those. With "reasonably exposed" images I can get horizontal streaking from ISO 1000 to 2500 on three different M9 cameras - even after sensor replacement. On one of the cameras I also found a stuck pixel column in one of the sensor quadrants - which is a completely different (but expected with CCD sensor) problem.

mikeleng Posted November 15, 2013 Share #14 Posted November 15, 2013 M9P + 35mm Summicron 800 iso 125th F2 was needed to stop the action . I think the M9P as coped quite well with the Theatre lighting, which is very unpredictable . Welcome, dear visitor!

mikeleng Posted November 15, 2013 Share #15 Posted November 15, 2013 1250 iso 35 mm Summicron, yes there is some noise in the shadow area, don't mind it . Properly exposed the M9 is capable up to 1600 iso . Do you need any more ? Mike Welcome, dear visitor!
