Advertisement Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Hi patrick parker, Take a look here More m9 from Erwin Puts. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
JMacD Posted September 26, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 26, 2009 Erwin will cause the sale of a few 1.4 magnifiers with this quote> "The accuracy of the rangefinder of the M9 is beyond reproach, but the optional magnifier (1.4x) is absolutely necessary. " Glad I have one coming from Dale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 26, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 26, 2009 Interesting. The Nikon images show the most moire by far (see the fabric in the upper left hand corner), and Erwin doesn't notice... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosuna Posted September 26, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 26, 2009 Interesting. The Nikon images show the most moire by far (see the fabric in the upper left hand corner), and Erwin doesn't notice... It may be due to image compression or resizing for web. We haven't the original picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reven Posted September 27, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 27, 2009 What you see as moire is just from image resizing and web compression. Nothing more. The whole tests just confirms what I thought. The d3x still remains on top even though they are using a AA Filter. 24Mp is just a little more than 18. However I think the m9 is doing quite well.

sdai Posted September 27, 2009 Share #7 Posted September 27, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hang on a sec ... he used a new Distagon 1.4/35 with floating element on the D3x, is that correct? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjv Posted September 27, 2009 Share #8 Posted September 27, 2009 Hang on a sec ... he used a new Distagon 1.4/35 with floating element on the D3x, is that correct? Exactly the thing that I picked up on... I'm in dire need of a 1.4 35mm lens in F mount. I'd be all over that lens if ever released. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted September 27, 2009 Share #9 Posted September 27, 2009 Erwins comment about the optional 1.4 magnifier as being "absolutely necessary" is interesting. After a short flirtation with a 1.35 mag. on my M9, I have returned it to the M8, where it is only useful on the longer lenses anyway. I am finding the overall operation of the M9 to be better without the magnifier. Even with the 75mm 'cron, I prefer the framelines without magnification. It may assist the 90 & 135. Haven't tried that yet. Maybe a lower mag. could be preferred. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely necessary for him as an individual maybe, and for some that will be the case. For others not so. I tried both Leica magnifiers in a store and didn't get on with them.

jaapv Posted September 27, 2009 Share #12 Posted September 27, 2009 Agree. For some of us the magnifier only magnifies the problem, if it is caused by the eye of the user A diopter is far more effective -for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonoslack Posted September 27, 2009 Share #13 Posted September 27, 2009 Agree. For some of us the magnifier only magnifies the problem, if it is caused by the eye of the user A diopter is far more effective -for me a 1.75 contact lens does the business for me :-) I couldn't get on with the magnifier, and the 75 cron and the 90 seem fine to focus on the M9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted September 27, 2009 Share #14 Posted September 27, 2009 I have good distance vision, and never seem to have trouble focusing the 75 on an M8. What I'd like to see is a reducing magnifier for the M9, to bring the 28 mm frame lines into clear view with wearing glasses, increasing eye relief. Sort of a poor man's a la carte viewfinder change. Is that possible? scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted September 27, 2009 Share #15 Posted September 27, 2009 You can buy a reducing "magnifier" on ebay - what used to be HK Supplies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted September 27, 2009 Share #16 Posted September 27, 2009 Travelling but stopped by. I find I'm focusing the 135 apo telyt very comfortably on the M9 without feeling a need for the magnifier - the 90 cron asph also. Once I'm back home I'll try to organise some examples. I have a leica magnifier but generally find I don't use it - but I also have a correction diopter on all my M bodies (I'm long sighted) and couldn't manage without. For my money the first thing to invest in is correction if you have trouble focusing the M. Magnifiers may or may not be helpful... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
