I’ve uploaded my initial batch of images taken using the V1.05 raw convertor.

all I can say is- Leica should have had 16-bit DNG in the original M8 firmware, and Thankyou to Arvin for doing this.

Version 1.2 of the software is out, easy to use, and something that should be considered especially of you use the M8 for Monochrome conversions.

Nikkor-SC 5cm f1.4, at F4.

Simulated Orange filter using LR4.4 presets. No exposure adjustments made in Post- this is “1-Click”.

Color original, lots of room to stretch contrast, pull of details- if you need to.

From this weekend: ISO1250 equivalent, using ISO160 and -3EV exposure compensation, “Auto-Levels” and some curve adjustment in Photoshop.

These are with a 1952 Minolta Chiyoko 5cm F2 lens, wide-open.

All hand-held,
