dpattinson Posted July 31, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 31, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I shot a bunch of images at a party on the weekend using 2500iso and the 50 Summilux asph. I am very impressed with the quality of the jpegs, which are much better in terms of grain and tone than I'm able to achieve by converting from raw. (probably because I'm clueless as to the best way to convert raw to b+w). Anyway - this is a link to one of the images, it's from the jpeg, with an adjustment to levels and contrast in PSE - I masked the cigarette: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1154/964454261_8c77b3f339_o.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpattinson Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted July 31, 2007 It's not very forgiving of low contrast and/or under-exposure though, you get some nasty grain that only gets worse as you try to lighten the image. Pretty much like tmax 3200 really - which makes me like it even more Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
