Leica M9 highlight posterization and Leica 21mm f/1.4 Summilux-M ASPH examples
Just published are two new pages in my Guide and Review of the Leica M9
A new page shows how the Leica M9 can posterize highlight detail at ISO 80 (I haven’t confirmed behavior with higher ISOs). Not pretty, and related to the specular highlight behavior. Perhaps both issues are related to its CCD sensor.
I’ve also published a series of examples with the Leica 21mm f/1.4 Summilux-M ASPH, one of Leica’s most exotic (and highest priced) lenses. Thanks to Leica for making this wonderful lens available for review. I expect to shoot it some more, as soon is my M9 is back from getting its rangefinder focusing adjusted.
