These 2 shots are so obviously not from the D800 / Otus combination. To me they are much nicer, even if not quite an M9….
keep taking the tablets doc

Love it. Always think M240’s BW photo is so good, the grade and tone.
Thank you all.
I have just read something that you Leica folks may already know, but which to me had some relevance to the comment from sam above about the M240’s B&W renderings/conversions and also to your challenges in getting the kind of pleasing color (as opposed to merely accurate) out of that camera that you’re looking for.
I understand that the excess IR sensitivity that caused such issues with the M8 was only partially corrected with the subsequent M models and that, in fact, the IR filters being used are quite weak. One suspects (among the several differences between the two) that the CCD of the M9 likely reacted differently to this fact than does the CMOS sensor of the 240. The effect, again based on the article I read (by Sean Reid, btw), is to warm up the image in certain presentations and also extend the potential B&W tones as well. Not sure what use such information might be (if not already known), but I thought it interesting.
Yes, I’m aware of this. I haven’t verified it for myself though. I won’t bother, because I won’t be using IR filters.

Lovely composition, wonderful light, great smile!
