davysn Posted July 17 Share #1 Posted July 17 Advertisement (gone after registration) I used to have a Nikon D3X camera, but later switched to the Leica system, purchasing the M11 and M246. I found that I preferred the M246 over the M11, probably because I felt that the colors of the M11 system were too vibrant, even to the point of being somewhat unrealistic. Am I the only one who feels this way? Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Advertisement Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Hi davysn, Take a look here Leica M11 color-am I the only one who feels this way?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
costa43 Posted July 17 Share #2 Posted July 17 I think compared to the M246, the M11 colours are extremely vibrant! 1 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davysn Posted July 17 Author Share #3 Posted July 17 Maybe you are right. If you put the photos from the M246 and the M11 in the same folder, the M11 looks too vibrant. 😅 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedaes Posted July 17 Share #4 Posted July 17 18 minutes ago, davysn said: that the colors of the M11 system were too vibrant, As seen in this b&w image? I have had M(240), M10 and M11 and think the colours from all three are excellent. And with a RAW file imported to Lightroom you can adjust to whatever you want. IMHO unless you put significant effort into post-processing any worthwhile image you will not see the full potential of your camera. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted July 17 Share #5 Posted July 17 Not sure what a vibrant B&W picture means exactly. Unless you're joking, do you mean on jpegs or raw and if raw, what raw converter are you using? If an Adobe one, i have little experience of them as i feel they oversaturate some colors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernstk Posted July 17 Share #6 Posted July 17 You're talking about colour but you've posted a B&W image? Is this image from the 246 or the M11? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
setuporg Posted July 17 Share #7 Posted July 17 Advertisement (gone after registration) I felt M11 colors are Sony-like. I much prefer M10-R, M240, M9-P. I had to get rid of M11s because of an SSD failure, and I was OK with them but had my misgivings. I also feel that the old metering has something to do with the Leica look. We know how it works so we correct by EV adjustment. The "new" metering is doing AI every time and you don't know how to adjust without chimping. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davysn Posted July 17 Author Share #8 Posted July 17 Yes, Maybe I should do the same. Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davysn Posted July 17 Author Share #10 Posted July 17 3 hours ago, lct said: 不太清楚“鲜艳的黑白照片”到底是什么意思。除非你是在开玩笑，你指的是jpeg格式还是raw格式？如果是raw格式，你用的是什么raw格式转换器？如果是Adobe的转换器，我不太熟悉，因为我觉得有些颜色会过饱和。 I use Raw files, and process with Adobe Lightroom. Maybe I will set the colors in the camera and process the photos according to my preferences. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, the M11 colors are rather natural, more so than those of my M240 and Sony cameras, to the point that i use jpegs more and more with the M11. As for raws, i don't use Adobe converters which produce too saturated colors for my taste. Compared to generic color profiles, that of the M11 has a slight red oversaturation that is easy to adjust in post, if needed, and don't seem to come from Sony, given than my Sigma FPL has the same or similar 60mp Sony sensor with a slightly colder rendition. YMMV. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
