stunsworth Posted August 27, 2009 Share #41 Posted August 27, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) So why would I want the M9 to not need filters- especially if I will be keeping my M8 and M8.2? You wouldn't, but there are people who prefer not to use filters. With the film Ms you had a choice, you could use or not use filters according to your personal preference. With the M8 they became pretty much mandatory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adli Posted August 27, 2009 Share #42 Posted August 27, 2009 I like having some sort of filter on all my lenses. I also have all the IR/UV filters I will need for the foreseeable future and do not shoot film. So why would I want the M9 to not need filters- especially if I will be keeping my M8 and M8.2? Some of us still shoot film. I've accidentally forgot to remove the IR filter on my 18mm on some of the shots when I used my M6 last weekend. Doesn't look good...

stunsworth Posted August 27, 2009 Share #43 Posted August 27, 2009 Steve in my opinion that is not a conclusive comparison. You would need to shoot the same shot identically with each lens. The white wall in the second shot also serves to make the effect more obvious. Differences in white balance and exposure are also involved. It would be easy to construct a worst case comparison with a plain white surface. Geoff, as promised here's another shot taken with the uncoded 35mm pre-ASPH Summilux and a filter. It's not great, but the background was very grey. I don't see any cyan drift. I've no idea why there isn't any. Welcome, dear visitor!

dpstjp Posted August 27, 2009 Share #44 Posted August 27, 2009 Me, I'll be dancing in the streets once the evolutionary dead-end that is the M8 has passed. I will be delighted to be able to swap lenses between M2, M7 and M9 with impunity. Regards, Bill Bill, I think you're being a little harsh on the old girl! OK she had buck teeth, bad breath, squinty eyes that needed tinted spectacles and was a little chubbier round the tummy than her mare, but people still wanted to go out on dates with her. I think the M9 (if it exists) ought to be seen as very much her progeny. I'm sure the Leica gene therapists started first with the M8 rather than the M7 when they sat down to think about the next steps in improving the bloodline. dpstjp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH]158823[/ATTACH] Yes, Steve, but there is not much red light about either, so there is not much for the filter to reflect.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
