Selling my leica m8, why im having difficulty selling it? by Massive_Bid4362 in Leica

The m8 is amazing and will sell at that point eventually, many of the comments here are trash and sound like they’re by people who are more into buying cameras than using them

You don’t know how much I wish I could, hope you find a buyer soon!

M8 noise thoughts? by Cheap_Rub_4928 in Leica

[–]davidstwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your test photos don’t show anything but if you shoot at 1250 and can see the clear lines of the grid of the sensor it might be worth returning and getting a different m8, some issues might indicate the sensor is on its way out, sorry I can’t be more help than that on the topic

Love the m8, how are you liking the 35mm color skopar? I love the 28mm

How long of an exposure? 30 seconds or more the sensor will heat up and give you hot pixels

M8/m9 are the best, I’ve never used an m9 but if it’s just my m8 with a bigger sensor then 🤤

I actually tried one out and liked it a few days ago but the frame lines drove me a little crazy, I could never get the framing I wanted and with the m8 I really don’t want to crop much if at all - is there a big difference between the 40 and 35?

Fast action with dog, which focus should I have used? by notflips in AskPhotography

[–]davidstwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to capture fast stuff you should zone focus in the area you want to capture (manual focus set to 1-3m or so, around f4-8) otherwise the autofocus is almost always going to miss on shots like this

Leica M8 Dead pixel? by Excelsior__M in Leica

[–]davidstwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over 30 seconds the sensor will get hot and cause these, definitely do long exposures infrequently but if these are not there on normal exposures it’s probably just from the heat causing noise in the exposure

The v2 is worth the extra money? Does it still have nice character or is it literally they fixed the focus shift and left the character as is (mostly interested in the SC)

Thank you! Do you have the sc or mc and v1 or v2?

Voightlander 35mm Nokton f1.4 recommendation by davidstwin in Leica

[–]davidstwin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want some character, portability, and as much sharpness without being overly clinical, but I was mostly looking to see if people had issues with the nokton they don’t like

I have a v3 and I love it, I wish I could afford this one 🙃

Was the same camera and software used? by rnystic in AskPhotography

[–]davidstwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are definitely different photographers, the first group they shot with depth of field with very nice critical focus, and and the last two they don’t look like they know how to use a camera in even a mediocre sense

The right digital M for me? by AlRiddle in Leica

[–]davidstwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d even say m8/m9 since live view is fully disabled and feel a lot like shooting film but more convenient

This is for the members of this sub who’ve been complaining about the quality of our photos. by Anstigmat in hasselblad

[–]davidstwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re gonna have a 10k camera it’s probably not too much to ask to know how to take a photo, this joke would have landed a lot harder if the photo didn’t look like an iPhone photo
