LUF Admin Posted June 15, 2015 Share #1 Posted June 15, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) On multiple request - and as we now have more than one Monochrom camera - here is the new Leica Monochrom Forum! Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Hi LUF Admin, Take a look here New Leica M Monochrom subforum. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Bill Livingston Posted June 15, 2015 Share #2 Posted June 15, 2015 Whoops! I should have put my thanks into this section - this thread wasn't here when I wrote my 'thank you', and then was here when I checked the posting. So, I'm not an idiot, just perhaps a little too keen to show my appreciation! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted June 15, 2015 Share #3 Posted June 15, 2015 Thanks, Andreas! Was hoping we'd end up with a dedicated Monochrom sub-forum... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted June 17, 2015 Share #4 Posted June 17, 2015 Thanks as well, it makes it a lot easier to focus on the Monochrom and not filter through another forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiftyonepointsix Posted July 6, 2015 Share #10 Posted July 6, 2015 I think it a good idea to have a sub-forum dedicated for issues, tools, and techniques for native monochrome cameras. I would prefer to see threads such as this one: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/247369-mm-post-processing-guidance/ Stay in this forum rather than be moved to the general discussion areas. Now that we have a dedicated subforum for native monochrome cameras, this is where most members will be looking for discussions regarding the M Monochrom and M246. Moving them out of this area, few will be looking at them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ay11 Posted October 2, 2015 Share #11 Posted October 2, 2015 Has anyone worked up a good workflow for the M-246? I have used Adobe camera raw to open images as sRGB and as Gamma 2.2 and have noticed that the Gamma 2.2 appears to be slightly shifted to the right- meaning slightly lighter. Apart from the additional channels the sRGB has is there any reason not to use the gamma 2.2? Does it make sense to work in RGB mode when you started with a greyscale image in the first place?

jerrab Posted October 4, 2015 Share #12 Posted October 4, 2015 In my view, the only reason to work in RGB mode is if you wish to access some applications (eg. NIK Silver Efex) which won't work while the file is in grey scale mode. Also note that in some apps, such as Tony Kuyper's Actions V4, some of its capabilities are only available if the file is in RGB mode. I find I can do without these. Leaving the file in grey scale, Gamma 2.2 works well for me. My monitor is set to D50 which requires 2.2 and provides accurate rendering of the files.

The Typ 246 comes w/ Lightroom. Quick, easy set your prefs and you are cable to access NIK software. I've been using Lightroom w/ all of my camera systems since it was a beta. I process thousands of images a week, hassle free! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
un observer Posted November 21, 2015 Share #14 Posted November 21, 2015 I recently got my M 246 and love it. A few test pictures I took seem way better than conversions from color especially details in the shadows. I am still setting up plowing through the instruction manual. I remember I have read somewhere that the shutter can be set up to re-cock after you release it. Since I shoot a lot in the streets that would come handy. But I could not find anything in the manual.

Jeff S Posted November 21, 2015 Share #15 Posted November 21, 2015 I am still setting up plowing through the instruction manual. I remember I have read somewhere that the shutter can be set up to re-cock after you release it. ?? The shutter always re-cocks when you release it....either in single or continuous mode. The former M9, and its MM derivative, had a discreet shutter mode that delayed re-cocking until shutter button release, but that was to avoid the loud motor re-cock sound, which has been significantly diminished in the M240 and M246. (The new M262 is reported to have an even quieter and faster re-cock.) Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
