It could be that it is better on a sensor than on film. If the plane of focus of the lens is exceedingly flat, the native curvature of film in the gate may become a factor. Just speculating....

vish Posted September 24, 2009 Share #22 Posted September 24, 2009 Sounds good. Which wide angle lense did you try? Did you try it wide open. I´m really courios about your expereience, since I shoot my jobs with Canon too. This confirms my past experience, the lenses are the best available, and the M9 seems to reproduce this, which the M8 could not. The M8 sensor was just not state of the art. Would you say, except from the noise issue, the M9 is? For Canon, I have a 24mm f1.4L, a 50mm f1.4 and 85mm f1.8. The 24mm shows up very unsharp compared to the other two, at all apertures and displays considerable CA on the 5DII. The M9 and Zeiss 50mm appear to be excellent at all apertures, noise not withstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_newell Posted September 24, 2009 Share #23 Posted September 24, 2009 The price... No, even that's one stop better. I told my wife I wanted an M9, and I got one "stop." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michali Posted September 24, 2009 Share #24 Posted September 24, 2009 I posted this thread about 10 days ago with WATE samples among others. http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m9-forum/98466-m9-super-wide-135mm-samples.html After about 1, 000 exposures in the last 2 weeks in all kinds of situations, so far I'm very impressed with the M9 image quality and general handling at all levels. I've mentioned this in another thread; the M8 crop factor was never really an issue for me, but I must admit I'm loving the fact the my 28mm Summicron is a 28mm, and I'm loving using the 50mm in its native FOV again, so much so that I've just bought a 50mm Summilux. Having said all of this; I'm still hanging onto my M8 & M8.2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
