Thoughts on LEICA M ?
- Thread starter Dfive
- Start date
This is a shot I enjoy taking in my spare time treating photography as a hobby. It was taken with my M8 in the absence of my M9 and in anticipation of my new M to arrive. I am certain the new M has a higher dynamic ability to capture light over my M8 thus I can improve the usage of back up light on the shot...Flickr also does a better HTML link than photobucket does on my earlier M240 shots.

Must a photograph look "good"? What is "good"? I went to some photography museum overseas as well as some photography exhibitions there and at SG. Some of the photos are I would say not mainstream and they are treated as Art. For example, I seen photos which are just the grass and undergrowth at the edge of forest similar to those you see at exercise areas when you go ICT. No object of focus at all.
At Amsterdam, I saw one set which shows Japanese people walking. Some of them part of the people are cut off from the photo and some are blur. My guess is it is taken from the waist or hips.
Not being sarcastic..but y do u need to replicate a shot from an outdated sensor?its like saying..i cant replicate a shot from a canon 400d when de 600d prove a better sensor?
Sorry, nv use it before so trying to understand if the sensor is something special? If u r talking about building a digital rf..den yes i agree its nt easy..
Yes the sensor is special
1. It is CCD
2. It does not have an AA filter.
3. It has a micro lens optimized for M lenses new and old.

And your post helps in what way in this thread? Do explain.
And furthermore, there are only 9 pages in this thread while in the gallery in the MFT subsection there are 132 pages, I am very sure many of the photographers here would be able to match or exceed the quality of pictures as shown in the other thread.
Yes I do own a M8 (albeit one that is half spoilt) and will never have plans to own the M240, but your sweeping comment on our gear being "expensive" and about us accidentally scratching and damaging the camera is totally uncalled for. You should come and see how deep I can go into the sea to take a shot with seawater splashing all around on a stormy day trying to get a shot with my Leica M4-P. To hell with whatever status I get in conferring the equipment, I use my Leica as much as I use my Pentax Spotmatic which I got in Japan for $20.
Perhaps you see us RF users as maintaining a perceived status using Leica gear, but I have been in the community for a long while, and I call tell you many of the people I have met here are very, very good photographers in their own right.

No, this is 3rd party adaptor with no contact point to the M240 body. But it works well with M240 thanks to the live view.
20" x9.5 front, 20" x10.5 rear...
The rear has to drop more. Look at that fender gap!
I agree on the visual aspect as Eibach springs on all my rides tend to bring the nose down more. However, I will have difficulity reverse parking then as current set up allows the rear muffler box clears most parking kerbs by centimeters as front park is strictly no-no as my front CF splitter will be smashed again. Besides the weight distribution & drive dynamics isn't compromised now...hehee, wrong forum to be talking about cars.
Try KW Streetcomfort CO.
Are the rims flushed to fenders? I'm looking at the same design, different size 19x8.

For those who cannot afford the new M and the array of exotic lenses, I can only look at the pictures and ææ¢ æ¢æ¸´. Hope i can the chinese characters right!

M9 or M8 prices should drop to a more affordable range in a few months time. U could grab a piece of d Leica legend by then.
