M M raw files

Had a play with this one too. This is the file from the Leica page so slightly different to the raw file, I've just noticed.

Wow, lot's of great photos! Thanks!

The fisherman photo is incredibly sharp, but on my monitor, it looks like his knee and part of his jacket have blown highlights, until I turn my monitor brightness way down.

Also, the lenses used seem to have wonky bokeh and distortion 😉

Is everyone using the SLR Magic lens like Steve Huff with their M-Ms?

Nothing blown when looking at the histogram in Lightroom of my version. 😛

The best one so far IMHO... well balanced highlight end with long mid-gray gradations.

Yup - looks almost as good as Adox CHS 25 😉

That's why I tried to explain above that the critical area is rather around the highlight zone that separates the look of film from digital at the first rate.

Thanks guys for the compliments. I favour shooting black and white film so I just tried to get it looking the way I like, by eye, using Lightroom 4.

Thanks George.
