M9 and Super Wide Hiliar Black and White users

[eleskin]

I still use the M8, and will eventually get the M9. I know there are issues with the 15mm Super Wide Heliar on the M9, but with Black and White, there is no issue. So what I would like to see are some pics from those who have the M9 and use their 15mm wide for Black and White only. I am sure for this purpose, the results are very very good indeed.

I like the tonality here much more than the one shown in malland shots - can it be that this is owing to this lense's low contrast?

Maybe you are right, if I recall it right from Sean Reid the contrast is low. Not a big deal, could be even better for B&W. I found the Heliar files easy to convert. The first one is just a desat version straight from DNG in Capture One V Pro.

definitely nice shots but the last one is not hold straight during shooting leading oblique lines of verticals. As it is ultra wide angle couple of degrees of inclination of the camera is exaggerated alot.
