Thanks Scott! They're all captured with the Noctilux 0.95

Congrats on your M! What lens did you shoot the 2nd picture with?

You'd probably get more answers and possibly remedies over at the LUF M9 forum.

All the best!

thanks for your answer, I ‘ve tried to convert with the adobe software but I still have the mistake….
I am really disapointed I have some massive works to shoot very soon with this camera and I can't imagine to fix file file….
please any help again ??

True,
When I choose to use f3.5 it is to blur the background so soft corners would not be noticed, nor any issue.
Jack

Jack,

Thanks for the reply and the confirmation effort.

I would agree with you that my typical use of this lens would be between f5.6 and f11 so it's not much of a practical issue for me (f8-f11 are amazingly sharp edge-to-edge).

For a 19mm equivalent lens, it's quite an accomplishment on Leica's part.

Thanks again,

Derek

Derek,
Sorry to be slow in responding, but I am off shooting in Tent Rocks New Mexico.
In order to answer your question, I had to shoot some tests at f3.5 to see if the corners went soft. Yes they do a bit under huge enlargement.
I never have shot wide-open but now I will know what to expect. f5.6 was only shot so I could freeze the bike…[Read more]

Hi Jack,

I like this image!

What are you noticing about the 24 compared to the other S lenses? I'm seeing fairly soft corners at 3.5 compared to 5.6 with my 24mm lens.

My comparison is my 30mm which is amazingly sharp wide open at 2.8.

Thanks in advance for the input.

Derek

Noam, I don't know for sure if this will help, but I'd try too convert the M9 DNG in the free Adobe DNG converter before using Eric Chan's software. See if that works …

Hi, I just notticed this problem last day on my m9p
a line of less than half the image of red dead pixel…
i've tried the software of madman but once i want to fix images, after entering the numbers of the pixel as asked by the application, it writes me that the file format is invalid…. and i drag a dng coming from a leica m9

any idea…[Read more]

So here is the problem. If Lightroom as well as Adobe dng convertor used compress format what is happens with different type of files when convert them to dng? Also you really can't do metadata & preview update because files get converted to compress format. So how can save changes to dng except catalog?

I believe I figured this out with the help of Tim Grey. I imported the same image into LR4 once using Copy and then once using Copy as DNG – it was shot uncompressed. Sure enough the file sizes were different (72MB vs 39MB) yet both had the same pixel dimensions (7512 x 4992). Additionally, if you opened each image in PS6 the file size in PS6…[Read more]

I have been using the Gura Gear Kiboko 30L and most recently the Bataflae32L . They are sturdy, ingeniously designed and can fit two S2 bodies, four lenses and a lot of miscellaneous gear. They are by far and away the best backpacks I have ever used. Their website is http://www.guragear.com/

Excellent news. Thanks for the information. Never know when it might come in handy, but your sharing gives peace of mind to all of us.

Thanks for the posted images !!! Just waiting for my M !!!

My prediction for a Leica Mini M is an M 240 type without the rangefinder mechanism.
Why let all the other non rangefinder mirror less cameras keep taking Leica M lenses without an answer from Leica?

Another option is adding a path for auto-focus lenses if they could keep the lens size small. Not likely yet, but minituration will allow it…[Read more]

Nice result, Jack. Gotta love those “automagic” type buttons!

Pretty cool result. Have to play with this one in the next couple of days as well. Thanks Jack.
