Hi WestMichigan it is Elmarit-M ASPH 28/2,8 ,thanks.

 

Thanks for the Info.

There is a wonderful Clarity to the Image whenever I see it.

How much adjustments did you make to the image file before posting it to the thread to share it with us?

My 'sense' is that other than the B&W conversion it is a pretty straight file, but being wrong is just another hobby of mine - I'm getting good at it too!~

Hi Richard. If I remember the air clarity was very good in that day. I just made conwersion for B-W in PS. I wont to show some more pictures from this day, but the most funy is that I cant repid the proces of insering image. My knowles about working such forum is as my Englisch very bad.

Glad to see the M8 thread still going strong. It's too bad Leica cannot handle the production of two M cameras at a time, the M8 remains viable, and could have remained a less expensive alternative to the M9. In general I remain convinced that the M8 delivers slightly sharper images than the M9 and has a small edge over the M9 when it comes to B&W photography.

 

Here's a shot done using sunlight bouncing off a building towards the end of the day. Seconds later the light glowing on the face of my girlfriend was gone.

It could be a straight file given the bright light which also produces rich shadows and hence a contrasty image. Nevertheless, regardless of lens, Post Processing is almost always necessary if you want your image to pop and have wide tonal range. A very simple and fast B&W conversion software program is Silver Efex Pro. If you don't have the patience to play with the B&W filter sliders on the later versions of photoshop, this is a great alternative. I use both.

 

BTW the M8 gives excellent results with just about any lens, Leica or not. There are dozens of examples of this on this thread.

 

Cheers,

Piter,

 

Don't worry about your English. Please make good use of the photo forums and keep posting pictures. That picture of your wife is lovely, great shot. Welcome!

Here's a shot from a series ( http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/other/186230-orphaned-series.html#post1733911 ) I did last Saturday with my M8 and 35mm Summicron ASPH. The title of the series is: "Orphaned." I generally go out with only one camera, and one lens. I hate to carry bulk.

PasMichiel - I've been creeping on the 75mm Summarit for a while now. I think it will be great on the M8 for portraits (head shots, street fashion shoots etc), what are your opinions on this matter? And can you provide some more examples? Thanks in advance.

Hallo,

Look here: Leica M

[menos I M6]

Spent the last week in France and surely didn't miss the most important event of the year on planet earth: Le Mans 24h.

 

I shot like last year just with Leica M, made an impulse M9 purchase, but still had the 135 APO-Telyt the most time on the M8.2 ;-) This camera will surely see much love still - promise:

(seriously folks, those chosen size restrictions here are a bit strange)

I love the 75 on the m8. With my m6 I used the 35 and the 90 very often. and with the crop of the m8 I desided to use the 28 and 75. I modified the lens holder of the m6 to use it with the m8.so I now have the m8 over my sholder with the 28 and 75 (and ofcourse a extra battery in my pocket) and no bag.

 

When I'm home I will place some extra pics
