hello

i get my M8 on april saturday 16th in Paris

Leica is an obsession and a unreachable phantasm for me since at least 25 years

now it is the time…

my aim is 99% exclusively black and white

(but i know that in certain rare case i will have pleasure to make white and black with a touch of color)

i dont know how Leica M work, i watch videos

is there something to parameter to make directly black and white without passing by a software on the computer after ?

that's my really first question

read you soon 🙂

Yes. You can generate a rather good B&W JPG. When you have the camera you will find everything in the manual.

Hi Vincent,

Congrats on your new M8! It's probably best that you post questions relating to your camera in the M8 sub-forum.

There are also B&W dedicated threads in the photos forum where you can post your work!

Welcome Vincent. M8 is a great camera. It will do IR photography very well with an appropriate IR filter, do try, as Jaap says, the Jpegs will be fine. However I preferred to shoot colour RAW (DNG) and covert in lightroom after, I did mostly B&W & IR on my M8 - you will love it!

à bientôt

Vincent
