Leica M, Leica S, Leica CLOfflineThis third shot shows the field of view of the 35mm superimposed over the full 24mm image.
I have also moved the field of view to the corner to show that the 24 gives more than twice the area than is captured by the 35mm.Jack - April 18, 2013 at 12:15 am #3761Jack MacDEstablished MemberUSA, St. Louis, MO and Phoenix, AZJoin Date: Jun 2011Posts: 367Currently using:
Leica M, Leica S, Leica CLOfflineI was doing some interior work with the 24mm and decided to compare it with my 35mm.
This first shot is the field of view with my 35mm lens, shot from the same tripod position as the second photo.
The second shot is the cropped result of using the 24mm at if it sere a shift lens.

Leica M, Leica S, Leica CLOfflinePete,
There was 25% sharpening applied, plus some exposure work in the previous images.Here is an untouched out of camera shot, nothing applied. Followed by the cropped and spotted and sharpened and exposure adjusted, etc.

Leica M, Leica S, Leica CLOfflineHere is the third photo cropped to final. It is a 48″ wide photo on paper.

Leica M, Leica S, Leica CLOfflineOK Pete, here are the tripod shots at f11 or more.
Most full frame, unless I needed to slightly straighten. One is shown both before crop and after.
Leveling remains a challenge even with bubble levels. The S would help right?The very edge of the corners seems ever so slightly a bit soft when pixel peeping. So it would be visible in 6 foot enlargements? So would the pixels.
Josh asked how I liked shooting with the lens. It's a joy to shoot things that I had to use the WATE on the M9 for before. And of course seeing the exact image with an SLR allows for a better shot too. The width of the image allows me to shoot as if I would have a 35mm shift lens, by shooting level, but cropping as if I were shifting. The third shot will be cropped from the bottom, I include the full file for Pete. The last two shots demonstrate the pre and post crop “shift” technique. Spare me the news that Leica will introduce a tilt-shift wide angle.

Leica M, Leica S, Leica CLOfflineOne more just for Josh who apparently likes car photos. 96% full frame, f6.8

Leica M, Leica S, Leica CLOfflineHere is the second in the 3rd ward series. David K suggested these structural shots suggest options in post processing, which this one received. I am trying to make the shot abstract, and post processing allows for that.
Again 120mm.
In fact, all planned nine shots in a matrix will be just the 120mm.The final dimensions of each photo will be 16″x20″. Matted to a frame 24″x28″
So the complete 3×3 matrix piece will be roughly 6'x8′Jack - February 12, 2013 at 1:20 pm #3577Jack MacDEstablished MemberUSA, St. Louis, MO and Phoenix, AZJoin Date: Jun 2011Posts: 367Currently using:
Leica M, Leica S, Leica CLOfflineI went to your site and was well rewarded with the work you have there.
Glad to see another excellent photographer is using the S tool.

Leica M, Leica S, Leica CLOfflineThanks Irakly,
The M8 battery in an M9 problem you described just happened to me. I had 30% of the battery left, and I suddenly had a dead M9.
First I reinserted the battery and initially it showed I had a full memory card. Then the card returned to a correct reading. I wondered if the card was the problem so I reformated the card. Problem remained.
Then I swapped batteries to a M9 battery and saw that I was using an M8 battery when I had the problems. Checked the forum and discovered I was not alone.I place a sticker on each battery so I know when it was purchased. I will start using nothing but the newer M9 batteries in the future, and leave the M8's as last resort backup.
