uhoh7 Posted January 10, 2015 Share #142 Posted January 10, 2015 @ uhoh7 and erl I like 75 shots, ever, landscape too, but its purpose is portrait IMHO not Puts Below an exemple: b Very nice shot. Think the lens is for however you want to use it, and it happens to be very versatile, great for portraits, great for low light events, wonderful on the street at various apertures, including wide open with a filter. And it is fantastic for landscapes as well. It was a huge expense for me, but I really love it in many situations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rramesh Posted January 11, 2015 Share #143 Posted January 11, 2015 The CCD sensor is actually perfect for a rangefinder camera. It was unfortunate that Kodak ran into problems and Leica had issues with the cover glass. If these two did not happen, I don't believe Leica would have had a compelling reason to drop CCD from the M roadmap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotografr Posted January 12, 2015 Share #145 Posted January 12, 2015 Great idea for a thread. I'll add my voice by saying my MM is the best camera I've owned in nearly 40 years of photography. I loved my M6's and MP's because I was a diehard film user, but the MM has erased any nostalgia I've felt for the film days. I have complete confidence that Leica will come up with a permanent solution for the sensor issue. The image below was one of a 30 print (all MM) exhibit I had a few months ago and when the gallery owner was hanging the prints I saw him trying to flick away the white speck on the tall rock in the distance. I told him to get his loupe and put it on the fleck, and when he did he saw very clearly that it is a white seagull. This was on a 20x30 print and the bird was perfectly defined, even at that distance. Numerous people told me at the opening they thought the images were shot with a large format camera.

otto.f Posted January 12, 2015 Share #146 Posted January 12, 2015 I totally agree Brent on the MM. I recently printed MM photo's at about 5*7" and they just look like contactprints from a 5*7 camera. With which I also say that I don't find the MM results not at all clinical or digital Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilfredo Posted January 21, 2015 Share #155 Posted January 21, 2015 An interesting thread. Although I have seen some pretty good photography, I have not seen one shot that makes a point specifically for a CCD sensor.... REALLY? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted January 21, 2015 Share #156 Posted January 21, 2015 Really. Not a pic here that couldn't just as well have been taken with an M. Besides, screen shots mean little….look at prints. [The MM may have some special abilities, but I expect a CMOS MM to do as well….we'll see.] Jeff (Also an M8.2 owner) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted January 21, 2015 Share #157 Posted January 21, 2015 really? Only after a lot of hustle creating your own M240 ICC-profile for LR or C1 to get rid of the systematic yellow cast even after the latest firmware. And even then, look at Jaap's safari photo's somewhere in this forum. As I understood he has his own profile and I still see a yellow cast. But that's me with my eyes and my iPad and iMac.

erl Posted January 21, 2015 Share #159 Posted January 21, 2015 Just a reminder to Jaap and Jeff S who have 'sort of' put the CCD sensor 'down' that this thread is not, IMO, declaring it to the equal or better than the M CMOS. It is simply celebrating how good the M CCD really is. I am happy to swap hardcopy prints (a real test) with anyone wishing to say serious stuff against the M CCD. Certainly the M CMOS has some advantages over the CCD. eg. better high ISO. Now as an habitual high ISO user I could use that advantage, but not at the cost of upgrading. I have very nice workarounds and, if I say it myself, I do pump out some nice high ISO from my M9-P. Yes, the M CCD is pretty bloody good, in skilled hands, same as any tool.
