John, 

Is this 50mm the original Noctilux?  Is there any cropping of edge coma?  Great shot. Can you comment on the need for post processing vs. other cameras you’ve used for the Milky Way?  Thanks

Thank you... I used a Voightlander 50mm f1.2, which I am really happy with.  For the price, it does so well.  

In photoshop RAW processing, I applied some level of vignette reduction, but did not have to crop the image.  In full resolution the image is really nice.  For post production, I just used levels and curves (applied sharp contrast on the sky while masking some of that effect on the ground).  When I try this again with a more thoughtful foreground, I'll likely aim for two exposures, a longer one at a higher f-2top for a noise free and in focus foreground, and wide open @ 8 seconds or so for the sky, then merge.  I posted a similar image on the M10 Monochrom site, that camera seems to have about a 1 stop advantage over the M10-R, and the results, while lacking color, are spectacular.  

Other camera's I have used include my Nikon D850, but with that one I only have an f2.8 lens, so had to expose longer, say 20 seconds to achieve similar results, which means the stars tend to be oval instead of circular.

Thanks John, the Voigtlander lens looks great, highly unusual for a fast lens.  I've used the 50/1.4 Asph with good results but the 50/0.95 had bad coma iirc.  I'll be shooting the Milky Way in two weeks, I'm looking forward to seeing how the Leica does.  Past experiences with Leica bodies have been marginal for astro, I use a Canon 6d and don't mind leaving it out all night on a tripod shooting images, something I would be reluctant to do with a $8k body.

Great shot, the teeth lack the derangement.

Hi! I was wondering if there’s someone who has both the M10 and M10-R. I’m curious to know if there is actually any difference in colour rendering between the two cameras. I don’t necessarily need the extra MP but I would be interested in the supposed different colour sensor. Is the new M10R colour rendering different from the regular M10? How would you describe it? Would it be interesting to compare pictures taken by the two cameras for example. Thanks! 

[LeicaR10]

Dsalamena,  To answer your question in your post #87, the M10 and M10-R color are very similar but not identical.  At lower ISO the M10 files are cleaner for noise.  But for resolution and at higher ISO the M10-R is better.  If you consistently make large prints, consider the M10-R, if not, the M10 works just fine.  If you want a excellent review comparison for the M10 and M10-R cameras, I recommend you subscribe to Reid Reviews and you can make an informed decision vs taking my word for it.  Both cameras are superb, I create very large prints for my clients and therefore need the M10-R.  Before that, the M10-P worked almost as well for me.  Hope this helps.  r/ Mark

Milky Way over the Pacific Coast, with 50mm f1.2 lens ISO 5000, 8 seconds.  I should have captured more of the shoreline for a better composition, will try again over the next 3 months as the Milky Way rises over Fall.

This is just an absolutely amazing capture. A stunning huge 5 feet canvas on a wall to enjoy it everyday would be awesome. Congrats!!

View from my office -- highlights easily recovered over a three stop range of exposures, but center-weighted default gave the best sky color;, so the M10R has got it right.

I generally use the louvers on these windows as a Moire test, but at 40.89 MPx, they are gone.

Continuing to learn the capabilities of the M10-R for night time photography, this one is a composite of 3 images (I posted an earlier effort drawn from a single exposure).  

The first two DMG images were shot at 8 seconds each, ISO 2500, on a Voightlander 50mm lens set at f1.2 with focus to infinity, and integrated to reduce noise (in Photoshop, manually by registering and rotating).  

The 3rd image was for the ocean at the bottom of the image region, and was shot at a lower ISO 800 for 45 seconds, which reduced foreground noise and blended in.

I still need to find a more inspiring foreground object, but am enjoying what the M10-R can do with the night sky.

shot without any exposure correction, center weighted average.  The surrealist totem in the center was spotlighted.

edit:  in case you worry about this sort of thing, NO, this is not the original, which seems to have gotten lost.  But Duchamp created 17 copies in the 1960s, and the Israeli Museum, which mounted a major exhibit on Surrealism a few years ago, has one of them.

Amazing sunset by the sea, accompanied with my favorite camera thus far:  M10-R, a 75mm lens, and a neutral graduated density filter.
