enboe Posted November 10, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 10, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) First we had experimentation in IR with the M8 generation, now X-rays for the M9: Compact, Lightweight X-ray Scans I wonder what the M240 and MM will be used for when they are superseded? Have fun. Eric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Hi enboe, Take a look here Uses for your old Leica digitals (Minimax). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
tobey bilek Posted November 12, 2013 Share #2 Posted November 12, 2013 I used to just buy the new film and all was well. That said, digital is fairly advanced and results are better than film in my opinion and there is no reason to trade up to the new model as long as the camera works or can be repaired.

pico Posted November 12, 2013 Share #6 Posted November 12, 2013 Compact, Lightweight X-ray Scans Over-engineered. Unnecessarily expensive. Silly. It appears that the R&D people simply chose components by considering only the overpriced. Does it tether? (I doubt it is an M9 unless it is just a prototype.) Photographing film X-Rays is elementary. X-Ray film is not high-resolution so a super-high resolution lens is not needed. Besides, it is clearly limited to modest sized films. Where was their head?

I don't think it is some kind of glorified copy stand, which I think is what you are suggesting it is. More information can be found here and here. Incidentally, the Jenoptik lens looks like it might be an adapted F0.95 Noctilux. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted November 12, 2013 Share #8 Posted November 12, 2013 Thanks for the correction. I definitely misunderstood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
