No problem, I have both a monochrom and the 10R. These are shot on the R but with an IR 859nm filter. It does act like a big stopper, so you need to up the ISO to get a usable shutter speed. I have only just joined the forum & still trying to learn how to drive it - but it look fun..

This was shot on my favourite Voightlander 12mm, I was trying to work out how to update the EXIF, but I suppose the trick would be to do it before posting!!! I did say I was learning :)

But thank you for reaching out, appreciated

I used the Visio flex 2 on the M11. It was great, with the EV1 being much better experience...focus helpers are the magnification and focus peaking. Collectively they work great together. I do think the EV1 gives a clearer picture and better focus experience.

02-02-26

jtorral

Thats good to read. I was hesitant at first as I am with anything new that deviated from traditional concepts. I Have the Visoflex for my M11's and only use that whn I have a close focus lens that needs it. But I wonder how they would compare. I think the EV1 has a nicer viewfinder.

By any chance, does it give a focus confirmation indicator of any kind or does it just let you see the area you are focusing on more clearly?

Thanks!

02-02-26

jtorral

i was going to comment that I like film so mcuh. And then I saw this was taken with an X-PRO1. Wow. it fooled me. Looks awesome!

02-02-26

FoleyAMG

It's pretty amazing. Very easy to focus and definitely seems accurate. For me, with my eyesight, it is definitely faster than my M11.

How on earth does the UK get an American bald eagle? Thats insane. It is such a protected bird here. Did you know that if you went hiking on a trail and found the feather of a bald eagle and decided to keep it, you could be arrested?

11-05-13

waeshael

Cancan: Ah, well that helps - I don't own this lens and wondered whether the lighting was due to flare at wide apertures, or was a result of pp. The EXIF data doesn't specify the aperture you used - I assume f 1.4? If I was using a Summarit f1.5, I would expect this type of flare at f 1.5. Thanks for identifying the cause of the flare as not being the result of pp.

Waeshael my dear
I can certainly understand what you are insinuating.
Well let me disappoint you my friend

The LEICA M9 summilux 35mm f 1.4 is a classic for those who do street photo or reportage.
I am sorry that you have to sell due, always the best of my x1 stolen.
It's not that I was excited but still ......
My problem is that I can not afford an M9, I'd rather spend the money in travel , I spend all my savings in travel, I think it's the best way to invest your savings

09-28-13

I used the M9 for a few years, What a fantastic camera. I than bought my MM and had to sell the M9 ( both where too much).
I still love the camera and thank god i had it with me on my Cuba visit.
Cuba is so colorful, it simply needs colord photos.

It is not only the great tones as Jim correctly commented. It is also the lines in the frame and the timing. I think that a croping to 6x7 will make it from a fine photo an excellent photo.
Nice work Dan.
Dimitris V. Georgopoulos, Athens, Greece.
P.S. Place and date, as photo title add a lot to street photography. A Winograd's obsession that proved to be a correct one. Camera and lens do not say something, this is just LI thing, but place and date say a lot. Think about it.

The M8 is a great camera with fantastic results. The reason i sold it was the ISO which above 800 was grainy, not that grain is necessarily bad, and i also wanted the FULL frame, which is why i sold my M9 later on.

Dan,
your corpus of work, speaks of you and says that you know, that photos are not just happy scenes, clear, sharp and bright. Muted colours and tenebrism, go hand in hand with life and the various expressions of it. The joy of the boy the stoic patience in the gaze of the old women. One smiling the other thinking, probably not of good things. Three persons three stories. Three unknown persons, three unknown stories. Three stories for the viewer to guess. What I just wrote about this picture I believe is absolutely true. It is an excellent picture. It is amazing how much can be told in a fraction of a second. That's the magic of photography.
Take care.
Dimitris V. Georgopoulos, Athens, Greece.

The film is old, the colours are faint and muted, the grain prevails, but the photo is absolutely marvellous!!! All the ingredients mentioned worked altogether, so to make your revisualisation to come true. Excellent.

The MM is a great camera with very good iso.
The M6 and the film still produce some old and different look
I love them both

04-26-13

Yes, I found your other pictures with the MM.

I still have the M6, which I carry around. But there is only one place to get film processed by hand. I used to do all my own processing and scanning. I have posted a few M6 shots - the bicycle, for one.

Do you prefer one camera over the other?

04-26-13

I have 2 cameras. The MM and the M6 TTL

04-26-13

Reminds me of life on the road. We photographers are a happy lot, compared to those we make pictures from - or I wonder if it's not sometimes the other way round?

Great capture. Is this your new camera now. Look forward to more work with the M.

The image of an intrigue, which appears to the spectator in order that he imagines the rest of the history to his own taste. Good work.

It is actually Micha Ulmann's inverted statue in Berlin as a memorial to the
"German Kristallnacht-cristal night- in november 9 1938 when the nazies burned all jewish books.
What you see here is an underground room with empty shelves - no books,
coverd by glass that reflects the sky which is the only thing left.
At night the room is illuminated and the shelves can be seen sharply

Right, i often find myself in such situation where people simply dont like me taking their photos. It's not always pleasent
Justo' e spesso che mi trovo in situazione simile' quand la gente no gli piacce il fatto che io li fotografo
non e sempre piaccevole
