My first images with a Leica M10

We got chicken and beef Kobab and we skipped Alligator sausage!

Very nice work Raid. Good to see you bonding with this camera.

This was from the first week of M10M ownership. It was to test a 50mm Summilux asph @1.4 so see if I will miss the Noctilux F1 I sold to buy it. I don't miss the Noct. I am the guy with too many 50mm lenses but must say all my other 50mm lenses are no longer necessary.

This is very nice Ray, and I get where you are coming from regarding the 50mm Summilux-Asph

Thanks, David. Leica RF cameras are very easy to use and no manual is needed. I cycle my M lenses here.

Raid, really liking the really wide stuff. Great thread.

 

[raid]

Thanks. The very wide lenses can cause issues with digital cameras.

I really like these that you posted. Keep'm come'n brother.

I agree, David. There is no need to be so picky that the colors must be as with the M9, say. It is a digital camera after all, and we have ways to adjust the colors.

IMO, it's the lens, not the sensor that give a photo its character.

Is this conjecture or the result of testing lenses? If it is a test I sure would love to see the differences. This stuff always interests me. Thanks. And testing is the only way we can be sure. "One test is worth a thousand opinions."

It is the way a lens works with the sensor.

It's fifty years of experience with film and digital. I've had an M8, M9-P, and now an M10. How you "print" the photo is where the real magic comes in, but in this era of OOC .jpgs, that seems to have gone out the window.

Many things have gone out of the window. This is life.

There is indeed magic to be made in the darkroom but that is not the subject here. How do the raw images differ? That's the question. I, and most others, see differences between CCD and CMOS sensors. I would opine that the lens would tweak what the sensor can do. But I am a LibArts major and we know little other than, "Do you want fries with that?"

No need to argue here.
I have used today the Zeiss Hologon for some very wide perspective with the M10.

I really like the pics above with the Zeiss Hologon, Raid. Very atmospheric and high contrast works well here.

 

[raid]

Thanks. It is a special lens for specific type of images.

 

[Godfrey]

Very nice, Raid! You're inspiring me to fit the Voigtländer 10mm onto the Hasselblad 907x and go for a walk... 😀

Life is too short not to try it, Godfrey.
Thanks.
