happymac Posted February 5, 2017 Share #1 Posted February 5, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) A few months ago I purchased a x-rite colorchecker and created several profiles with my M9 an my CANON 5D MKii. The results especially for the Leica are very good. Just before I bought the colorchecker, the sensor of the M9 unexpectedly needed to be replaced. Now my Lightroom image database contains about 25.000 pictures shot with the 'old' sensor, for which I don't have a profile due to fact, that I bought the colorchecker after the sensor was replaced. Can anyone assist providing me a x-rite profile for the M9 (ME) with 'old' sensor? I would be very grateful, if someone can help me. Many thanks in advance, Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

olgierdc Posted February 5, 2017 Share #2 Posted February 5, 2017 I can you send, but profile coming from Adobe is better (several source of light). I think they didn't create special profile for new sensor. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they didn't create special profile for new sensor. I'd appreciate it. By using x-rite it's possible to create a dual-illuminant profile (e.g. sun/shadow).

kristyansen Posted December 6, 2020 Share #4 Posted December 6, 2020 Hello, would anyobody have a custom ColorChecker profile for the second generation M9 sensor? The color response of the sensor is different than the original due to a different cover glass of the sensor. Actually, my goal would be to understand if it is possible to make pictures taken with the second generation M9 sensor similar to the old sensor colors.

The Adobe profile is all you need, you can add some tweaks if you wish and create preset in LR. Dave Farkas, from Red Dot Forum has a free M9 preset that you can use or modify to your liking.

dummilux Posted December 7, 2020 Share #6 Posted December 7, 2020 Is there a thread that explains the color differences in Original vs. New gen sensors? I did a search but came out empty handed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a search but came out empty handed. Hi. Not sure about threads, but my M9 had an original sensor, replaced by another 'original' sensor, and finally replaced by the 'new' sensor. There are no colour differences whatsoever between the old and new sensors. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no colour differences whatsoever between the old and new sensors. I do not agree. I previously had an M9-P which had corrosion and had the sensor replaced by Leica with the second generation sensor - the color response was different (different cover glass Schott S55 and glass color used by Kodak instead of the original cover glass Schott S8612). I preferred to exchange the camera with a non replaced version - still have never performed the exercise of trying to calibrate. Kindly asking the original question: who has a ColorChecker profile for the second generation M9 sensor - or at least a photo of the ColorChecker with the second generation M9 sensor? Thank you so much in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko.Fe. Posted January 30, 2021 Share #9 Posted January 30, 2021 Now I know why I dislike new sensor rendering. Time to be more into the content than colors Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
