If you want your work to look like Leica M well you get the drift. I say if you want tour work to look like film, shoot film. For my personal work I save as tiffs and print from those files. I have certain way I want my work to look so I first expose and thenI process to get that look. I work in PS kinda like I would in a wet darkroom. I start in Adobe Raw then finish in photoshop.
If anyone is interested I always shoot DNG with my Leica's. I might also add that getting to "know" the photographer and what he/she is trying to present adds to the mystery, aka "look"! But I have not seen a bad image posted from anyone using a Leica, post processing included. Thanks Bob for the comments, question and link! I agree! Yes there are pre-steps to the image to be processed. I would add once you run a raw file through a raw processor, you immediately add one degree of separation from the actual sensor product - biasing results in favor of the raw processor (PS, C!, whatever). I would rank Fuji jpgs a close second in terms of quality, FWIW. Short story there are two components: the sensor (CCD made by Kodak and allegedly targeted Kodak color film) and glass (Leica and Zeiss glass formulas proprietary and differ from other lens makers), and owning an M8.2 (CCD, 10Mb files) I can confirm Leica's jpg processing yields unique results. I'd add comparing this set to the same image captured with another brand camera and glass would be posted this link, Leica Look, in another forum it may be an interesting read for anyone interested in the "Leica Look". Yes, a lovely set of images but my question is how much of the "look" is attributable to the A7 III and glass as opposed to the processing/preset? Seems to me nearly all A7n images look superb. Leica DNGs results are confounded once you run a raw file through a raw processor, you immediately add one degree of separation from the actual sensor product - biasing results in favor of the raw processor (PS, C!, whatever). I'd add comparing this set to the same image captured with another brand camera and glass would be airfrogusmc posted this link, Leica Look, in another forum it may be an interesting read for anyone interested in the "Leica Look". Makes me wonder how the emulations would do coming out of an actual Lecia body / glass? Well done and SUPER sharpness and tonality!! These are BEAUTIFUL images! I just love what this camera does to an image! Just super tonality and what a beautiful presentation the Leica presents! I quite enjoy these two profiles as they bring something more "magical" than the default B&W profile in LR (Adobe Monochrome).
Shot on Sony A7 III with various lenses (mostly the 24-70 GM). These pictures were not cropped, and lightly edited in LR. You can probably tell in which city these were shot. I am a customer and paid for the profiles - not affiliated in any way. This set is using the profiles "Leica M9 JPG b&w Standard" or "Leica M9 JPG b&w High" from Cobalt Image's CCD Fever emulation pack. 20 pictures with a Leica M9 B&W Emulation.
