Image Quality

Quite simply, it’s a revelation. Quite a new experience – even at 10,000 ISO the small amount of grain is lovely, and reminiscent of fine grained film rather than digital. Of course, digital images never really look like film, but the files from Henri have a very un-processed look about them, which is presumably the result of not having been parsed through a demosaicing program. High ISO is what most of us have been wanting on an M – well, here it is!  The fan painting shots (see the guy with the toes above) were all shot with a 90 elmarit – mostly at 6400 ISO – I think the toning and contrast are wonderful, and the amount of grain is irrelevant unless you are going to shoot billboard sized prints. The ability to keep the shutter speed safely high when shooting those fleeting moments is really useful, and I found I got a lot of keepers where I would really have been struggling with my M9p……
