didier Posted December 5, 2021 Share #141 Posted December 5, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Some gorgeous portraits here ! I already own 6 M-Fifties but this thread makes me lean towards n°7 🤔 I had the opportunity back in 2003 to buy a silver chrome v3 (as new) for 1000 Eur… and did not… now I am looking at the same version and it seems to be 2,5 * the price… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try to find and link it. Thanks Steven. For anyone interested, RNI (Really nice images) is a good package of Lightroom Profiles (yes, profiles not 'presets') simulating a huge number of classic film stocks. They are not cheap but after sampling various presets and getting pretty awful results, this is the only editing profiles/presets that I own. Whether each stock actually looks like the stock it is trying to emulate is debatable, so whilst I have favourites that I use often I always play around with them all to find something nice for the particular image that is in front of you. Once I find something that works then I batch apply it to a run of photos from the same location, etc . . Also they have a 'strength' slider which is good as they tend to be a little heavy-handed. I usually turn it down a little to 80% or so . By the way they play really nicely with leica ... In the system I used to shoot I found myself wrestling with the edits for ages. With my leica files and lenses they just seem to 'work'. If I remember correctly @evikne also uses them - and always beautiful tones in his images !

grahamc Posted December 6, 2021 Share #150 Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) 5 hours ago, Steven said: I have started using RNI profiles recently too, and I'm very happy with them. But I only like them on Leica files. I think they don't play as well with other systems. Which ones are your favourites? And which one did you use on the photo of the red head girl holding your M6? I use the Agfa Optima 200 a lot. Looks very nice as a one click solution. I think that my photos are also almost undistinguishable from film, to a stranger's eye, when I go for that look. But the truth it, it's so different. I know it. And you know it too. Nothing will replicate film. I'm glad we are using the same package, as I've really liked your edits you have posted too . Generally speaking I'm not certain the stocks 'look' exactly like what they are emulating , it's more a case of finding one that you like on the particular image or conditions the shot was taken in - do you find that ? But my faves and most-used are Agfa Optima 200 (as you mention is a gem especially for beach/sun) , Kodak E 200, Fuji Pro 160ns Warm, Kodachrome Generic, Tri-X 200. The Kodak Gold ones get used regularly (especially as I like gold film stock) but sometimes find they turn everything too greeny-blue and looks quite fake . I do use the Portra ones often but find I have to scroll through and try all of them and sometimes are left out of luck. The image you are talking about was "Porta 160 v2" - I was actually shooting Portra 400 the same day and this image sits very well side by side the film shots, which was surprising. I'll resist posting here as was not using 50:1.4 Pre-ASPH Edited December 6, 2021 by grahamc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Agfa Optima 200 is one of my recent favorites too. Another one is the Kodak Ultramax 400 v2 (used in post #134), with its warm whites and faded blacks. Among many others. For B&W the Ilford Delta 400 is one of my most used profiles, because it's very versatile and looks good in many situations. But if I just want the most natural colors, nothing beats the embedded Leica M10 color profile (but only outdoors in natural light; indoors in artificial light it's hopeless). This is the standard profile I use in my import preset. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

evikne Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share #155 Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) I don't try to make my images look like any particular film stock. I just browse through different profiles until I find one I like, and that I think fits the image. I like the "matte" effect (faded blacks) that often appears on many types of film, that's why I often end up using film emulations. I would be just as happy if I found other types of profiles that don't try to emulate anything, but RNI is still the best I have tried so far.

It is not on the list of discontinued lenses that can be updated: https://m.dpreview.com/articles/0669712115/leicamdlenses You can still manually choose "Summilux-M 1:1.4/50 11114" in the camera menu, but I don't know if this is possible with an M10-D.

poli Posted December 14, 2021 Share #160 Posted December 14, 2021 Thanks. Already started to doubt. And indeed with the m10-d you cannot choose a lens in the camera menu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
