    Jack MacD replied to the topic M10 monochrom necessary if getting the M11? in the forum M Monochrom 3 years, 3 months ago

    Additionally, the latest RedDotForum show on the M11 said the M10M gives us two stops of ISO performance.

    Jack MacD replied to the topic M10 monochrom necessary if getting the M11? in the forum M Monochrom 3 years, 3 months ago

    Do you just shoot B&W? If so, I get the idea that the M11 shooting converted B&W may match, but not exceed the M10M. Therefore not a reason to change.
    I have a M10M and an M11. When I want to shoot B&W I use the M10M. Having a B&W camera helps me concentrate on structure rather than color. The issue for me will be if when the M11M comes out, if I…[Read more]

    Jack MacD replied to the topic Fast, Wide Lens for Astrophotography in the forum M Lenses 4 years ago

    Mike,
    I have not used either the 35 1.4 older model or the 28 2.0 for astrophotography. I don’t believe vignetting is an issue with the 21 but if that’s not your preferred field of view, go with a 35. You have also reduced your cost. What is the issue is what ISO works best on your Sony. If you are willing to shoot at say 3,200 you don’t need…[Read more]

    That’s an easy choice but not inexpensive.

    Lucky for you, the Leica Store Miami has one used as well as new.

    Well, I used the 007 at ISO 3,200 again, but the reason was I needed it to be able to use motion capturing of water at 1/400 sec f8 in this Triptych set.

    This is the first time I've seen a full rainbow where the interior of the arc is a totally different brightness from the sky outside the rainbow arc.

    OK,
    I returned to the scene using three new bits of technology.
    !. An M10M which allows for very high ISO and high resolution.
    2. Remote firing of the M10M via LeicaFOTOS, and allows a self portrait if you look very closely.
    3. A 12mm lens. The shot is ISO 20,000, f4.0. 1/15

    The Pulitzer Art Museum in St. Louis has a Richard Serra: Torqued Spirals that allows the viewer to go inside the sculpture. There is not a perpendicular or uncurved surface. When looking up, the sky can look like the earth from space. This was shot with a 24mm S, on a S (007) processed in Silver Efx Pro.

    John,
    For a safari you will want a fast telephoto lens as the animals are not always within 10 feet during the day. Many times at dusk or dawn in low light. Yes amping up the iso will help. Yes digitally zooming in your 23 will help. But consider renting a tele zoom or prime.
    But you asked about filters. The coating on today’s lenses is very s…[Read more]
