Good resource for M8 image examples?

[joecorvaia]

I am considering a second hand M8 and would like a chance to work with a few full size raw examples using my typical workflow. Test images located on a few of the typical review sites are not what I want to use. Specifically, I would like a few portrait type shots in the 35-40mm range and possibly a landscape type image in the 25-28mm range.

I am currently using a Sony A850 for my main rig, but have recently come to the conclusion that my A55 produces very detailed files and can be used for 75% of what I shoot. The rest could possibly be replaced by the M8.

I love rangefinders and do not mind a film workflow, but would prefer the simplicity of digital - hence the M8. Any online resources that could provide what I am looking for (or maybe even a friendly forum member)?

THanks,

Joe

Probably the best thing you can do is borrow or rent one for a day.

Pixel Peeper is where you should head

flickriver.com is a good way to quickly browse. You can also sort by most "interesting," relevance, date.


Also, flickrhavemind.net , supposedly listing the "World's best" photos...from Flickr.

I can't help you with online RAWs. But for a sizable collection of M8 pictures, try my flickr page:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563@N04/

The information just to the right of each photo's top right corner will tell you the camera, and you can click on that link to see the EXIF. Right click and view Large or Original to see bigger pictures.

I mostly use the M8, with some Panny G1, Oly E-510, and film. The set "Israel Nov. 2010" was shot completely with the M8. I only shoot RAW, and convert with Capture 1 Pro.

Thank you - I never knew of this site, but this is perfect for my purpose!

I have searched numerous sites (including this one) looking at many images - I just need some files to work with.

If I could find a decent deal to rent I would, but at this point in time, the M9 is much easier to source for a rental.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Some great shots Peter and I appreciate the response.
