In a photo editing program you can raise or lower the exposure. To push would be to brighten the image.

To 'push' sounds so much more filmy I guess 😁. Thank you

It is definitely a hold over from film.

Yes it does.

indeed push comes from the film era when exposing g a film with a higher sensitivity than the box one i.e. portra 400 exposed as 800 iso. This was useful when lenses were not very fast. 

In digital world you will translate with increasing the iso value then it means the electric signal on the sensor which create more noise..

And this is one of the Achilles heel from the M9

Eu fotografo câmeras de filme Leica há muitos anos e, pela primeira vez, estou pensando em comprar um corpo M digital. Nos EUA, um Leica M9 usado pode ser adquirido entre US $ 3.500 e US $ 4.200 de revendedores com garantia de 6 meses. Minha única hesitação é o medo de que o M9 não consiga reparar antes que eu termine a câmera. Se eu gastasse tanto dinheiro para um corpo digital, esperaria mantê-lo por um bom tempo. Se eu tive a infelicidade de ter que consertá-lo, alguém sabe a possibilidade de a Leica não conseguir consertar as câmeras M9 em alguns anos? Três a cinco anos? Alguém sabe se eles ainda estão consertando M8?

 

Além disso, quanto custam os reparos do sensor ou outros? Gostaria de ouvir as experiências das pessoas com os reparos da Leica, especialmente nos EUA. Sinto que é inevitável, considerando que estou pensando em comprar uma câmera digital em segunda mão.

there is no longevity. There are two Leicas; fantastic analogue that thought about longevity, about longevity of all parts of the camera including lenses. Leica digital, think at the moment, globalization of its customers, longevity is tomorrow.

I think that longivity * is always here and now with thousands of users of M9 and Monochrom or M-E .

* I admit at a cost of replaced sensor for some

Your posting history shows that you’ve now vented the same on 10 different threads in the last 11 hours, including dredging up this 6 year old thread following a comment from over a year ago. And you only joined the forum less than a week ago.  Maybe a record. Congrats.
