roshuu Posted April 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 19, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a question to the M8 and M9 owners. Will the M9 image crop get the same quality as the M8? Since M8 has the same pixel size? Is the object closer to the M8 matrix? Do you want to stay M8 or try to buy M9? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko.Fe. Posted April 19, 2017 Share #2 Posted April 19, 2017 I have M-E and M8. I don't see, feel any difference related to the crop. With M8 you'll get smaller than M9 picture, but not the crop. To me M8 and M-E image rendering is different. I get more with M-E. Something which is now called as dynamic range. M-E has more of it. But M8 reminds me color negatives scans with not expensive flatbed scanner. Which is also neat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roshuu Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted April 19, 2017 I have a request for you to make a photo of me with M8 and M-E of the same object, the same lens and send a wetransfer .dng and .jpg file? This will help me a lot. I tested M-E before I bought the M8 and now I can not do the test now. Please do something with ISO 640 or 1250.You will help me very much.

Ko.Fe. Posted April 19, 2017 Share #4 Posted April 19, 2017 Why not . My M8 set to ISO 640 as maximum and M-E set to 1250 as maximum. I'm not a big fan of post processing. If light is low I would not hesitate to use M-E at 2500 for color prints with straight or minimal NR. And for BW M-E ISO 2500 SOOC is nice. M8 still does it OK in color at 1250 if light is not so low. M8 ISO 2500 is BW only for me, if I want heavy grain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko.Fe. Posted April 21, 2017 Share #5 Posted April 21, 2017 Link for the test files, if somebody else is interested. Just for curiosity I took one more picture with M8 at ISO 2500. It doesn't looks perfect as file. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
