Advertisement Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Hi truando, Take a look here Leica's official M8 Pics online. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
truando Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share #2 Posted November 9, 2006 sorry, but since most of you don't read german, here's the direct link to the pics: http://www.leica-camera.de/photography/m_system/m8/download-121_5.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbretteville Posted November 9, 2006 Share #3 Posted November 9, 2006 Thanks for the link Christian. This camera is quickly becomming something Moulder and Scully could use. The files were shot using FW v1.05. The JPEGs report the bits pr sample as 16,16,16. The DNG is declaring 8,8,8 it it's tags, but when I opened it in ACR 3.6 it comes up as a 16 bit file where as the JPEGs are 8bit when opened in CS2. - Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted November 9, 2006 Share #4 Posted November 9, 2006 Aren't all jpgs 8-bit, Carl? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scho Posted November 9, 2006 Share #5 Posted November 9, 2006 sorry, but since most of you don't read german, here's the direct link to the pics: http://www.leica-camera.de/photography/m_system/m8/download-121_5.html Did Leica process these eagle images to remove moire in the feathers and any magenta cast from the black base and background?

sergiolov Posted November 9, 2006 Share #6 Posted November 9, 2006 This seems to be a very critical image with respect to moire-the full lenght one-due to the extremely fine feathers detail. I would like to have the possibility to download the dng,becouse traces of moire are present everywhere. If this is a non corrected image, the results, considering the lack of AA filter, are good.

cbretteville Posted November 9, 2006 Share #7 Posted November 9, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sergio, The dng for the shot of the eagle's head is there, just down load it and have fun. - C Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergiolov Posted November 9, 2006 Share #8 Posted November 9, 2006 Carl, i downloaded it, but the reproduction factor in that (the head only)is much less prone to produce aliasing artifacts. If you look at the full lenght bird image, the moire is there, but not srong, it's subtle and looks soft. Therefore my couriosity.. Sergio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbindman Posted November 9, 2006 Share #9 Posted November 9, 2006 After viewing these official photo's I took a look at the M8 photo's by Simon Wheatley in the M brochure. Although there is no way to know for sure what the original colors were, it does seem a bit of a coincidence that there are a large number of similar colored maroon outfits throughout the series. For example take a look at the 3rd photo of the man and woman standing in front of the glass door. Are they a couple who dressed to match? It seems from my observations that the issue of to much IR reaching the sensor could have been observed at an earlier point instead of members of the forum bringing it to our attention. Dunno, just an observation. Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is a non corrected image, the results, considering the lack of AA filter, are good.Sergio Sergio: If you downloaded the jpeg, it is quite big and your browser may have resized it to fit the screen and thus the moire. If you look at it full size or drag it into Photoshop, the image looks pretty good. Here it is resized in Photoshop. I don't see any moire on this. It is a little yellow, but that may just be subjective. I made a quick adjustment to the file to what I would think was correct colour. Welcome, dear visitor!

sergiolov Posted November 9, 2006 Share #11 Posted November 9, 2006 Robert, I analyzed it in PS. It's a little to late now, (sleep needed) but today I'll post some crops to show where I see moire and aliasing.Very acceptable,if file is not corrected. Thanks.

Sergio Sergio: You are correct, I looked at the full size jpeg and there is a bit here and there. It also looks like there may have been a de-moirize plugin applied to a few of the areas. All of this is acceptable when you look at the other fine detail we are getting. Look at the iris of the eye. This area is an area where digitals can kill the fine detail. I don't know if it is the AA filters on some cameras or their noise reduction algorithms, but a lot of digitals loose the detail in the iris of the eye.

Gary Out of curiosity, I just went back and looked at these images on Leica's Presskit CD from Photokina....I never knew that deep maroon was so popular with the young, urban black community It's there in every frame.
