I just read through Sean Reid's M8 review part 3, and the tonal scale produced by the CV 15 on the M8 looks absolutely, without doubt, excellent. I love the look of the box cars with this combo, while the RD1 parallel shot has that typical 'hard boiled digital' look. Woohoo! Awesome news! Excellent!
Now I'm really happy I kept this lens and the CV 21!

It does look good. I think a lot of people are going to like the combination of the M8 and the CV 15. That lens is a great value.

Right. Make me feel miserable for having sold my lil' 15mm Heliar three years ago because I couldn't see any practical use for a lens wider than 21mm.
ERRRRRR!
Anyone have a used but still clean 15mm Heliar they'd like to sell?

If you think that was good, just wait until you get a Leica monitor for viewing your Leica photos! Then you'll really be free of that nasty ol' digital look...

CV stands for Cosina Voigtlander. And, yes, I do mean that it is a great value. As for the Zeiss, I haven't tested it yet but will.

I was talking about the capture, not presentation. Poor digital capture quality will show through no matter how the image is presented.

Hi Jan,
jlw is just being sardonic with the monitor joke. I think he's a little grumpy that the M8 costs more than most of us can easily afford. <G> I can certainly appreciate that point of view.

What about the M8 image that is so much more film like than the RD-1 image? I'd like to know what you're seeing here.

How about something as basic as the tonal scale? Surely you can tell the difference?ywenz said:

I figured as much, but saw no significant difference other than the movement of the overcast clouds and that caused for a difference in the exposure of the sky. Can you point out what you saw?
