More Jono Slack M9 pictures

[TimF]

Taken in Crete, these are in the photographer's words, "holiday snapshots, but with intent".

They look nice enough for what they are.

It seems to start off at -0.7EV comp and then go to -1. Does this look a -1EV comp pic to you? I'm thinking photoslop has been used to make these pics presentable....either that or the metering is outstanding but a stop over! (of course the EXIF could be wrong....but something doesn't seem right anyway)

Yes, but if you had read the introduction instead of concentrating on the smart-arse comment you wanted to make, you will have understood he had an early pre-release camera which needed adjustment. Fact remains the M9 is the world's smallest FF camera which, combined with Leica glass, comprehensively blows most other 35mm cameras away - and I say that both as an M9 and a D3/D3x owner.

Even allowing for that there were a wide range of scenes with exactly the same exposure compensation that I would not have expected. I picked one that would likely have been easy to rescue from shadows.

I clicked the link to see what the camera was like and I see evidence of sloppy technique instead of a convincing demonstration of it's capabilites

...concentrating on the smart-arse comment...

I'll have you know I take offence at being accused of concentrating

And just FTR I'm sure it is an impressive achievement and it's about time M users got a full frame digital. I don't particularly like APS-C for anything other than macro so I imagine Leica M users weren't particularly keen on it for anything. I may not want one but I really do hope it is an excellent tool for those that do.

I thought Mr Slack's holiday snaps were really nice and much better than the ones I took recently on Alonnisos with my Ricoh GX100 but after concentrating on the absolute difference I don't think it would be worth my while to spend £12k for an M9 and three nice lenses because I don't think I could really do it justice.
