3. *SDHC card compatibility

The choice of SD and SDHC cards in the market is very large and is constantly growing. Therefore, Leica Camera AG is not able to do comprehensive compatibility- and quality testing with all available cards in the market. We do recommend the card types in the list below. Using other card types, will not damage camera or card, but as especially “no name” cards do often not respect the full SD or SDHC standards, Leica Camera AG cannot warranty full function with other cards than in the list.

• Extrememory 4GB SDHC
• hama SDHC 4 GB
• Kingston SDHC 4GB class2
• Lexar Professional SDHC 4GB 133x class6

We are convinced that the new firmware version will have a positive effect to the great popularity of the LEICA M9 and we are looking forward to your cooperation.

I will have a video up on the 15th showing all of the improvements on the camera, as in, you will see the new faster previews, improved resolution in the previews, etc etc.

I know there are quite a few of you looking for this lens and B&H has it in stock but these NEVER last long so if you want it, grab it now!!!! My review of this lens on the Olympus E-P2 is HERE.

Anyway, I was with my Mother today and we walked in the house to investigate, being extra careful not to touch or move anything. I wanted a pic of the front of this house but the sun was directly behind and above it so it did not work out too well. But inside the house the first thing we saw was this book with a cover that did NOT get destroyed…

I get quite a bit of gear coming through my doors these days. Cameras, lenses, binoculars, (reviews on those soon) and even software. I am only one man and sometimes it is tough to get to everything when I only have these items for a short time. Before I will write a full review of a product I have to use it extensively. If I can not get out there with it and shoot then I do not feel I should write a review for that item. Because of that I sometimes have to set some cameras or lenses aside and pass on writing a review for them.

A couple of weeks ago I realized I had some images on my hard drive from some of these lenses and cameras that never ended up being fully reviewed. So in this post I will go over three of those products that ended up being “missing in action” from my reviews! Basically, just short blurbs with some image samples. Enjoy!

The Zeiss 28 F2.8 Biogon Lens

Zeiss 28 ZM Biogon – I shot this lens on the M9 for a while and never really enjoyed it that much on the Leica M9. One problem I was always having was with exposure. This lens seemed to underexpose quite a bit on my M9. Sure I could compensate for that but my overall feeling is that if you want the best quality from your M9 with wider angles, try to stick with Leica Coded lenses. The Zeiss 28 2.8 was not a bad lens, quite the opposite. Besides some underexposure issues it seemed like a great lens just like the rest of the ZM line. It’s just not one of the “superstars” like the 25, 35C, and 85.

I did test the wider Zeiss ZM 25 2.8 and LOVED that lens. It was sharp, had great color, that Zeiss 3D pop and it was nice and wide. The 28 ZM, while a nice lens just did not do it for me like the 25 did. If a lens doesn’t do it for me then I really do not enjoy shooting with it so I never did get enough “real world” time with it as I only had it for a short time and I had it at the same time as four other ZM lenses and I had to send them all back before I could really shoot with the 28.

Again, this is not a bad lens, but just not one I would buy for myself FOR THE M9. On the M8 I hear it is beautiful.

Me, I would rather buy the superb Zeiss 25 ZM or the 35 C-Biogon F2.8 but here are a few more shots from this lens on the Leica M9 during my time with it. Again, I did not really have enough shooting time with it to properly evaluate it so what I say here are more like my “first impressions” of the lens.

The Canon 7D DSLR

CANON 7D – I had this camera for 30 days and could never really grow to like it that much due to the crappy kit lens that was packed with it. I had periods where I really enjoyed it (usually with the cheap-o 50 1.8) and then periods where I hated it (kit zoom).

The camera was sent to me as a kit with the 28-135 lens which is a substandard lens and not a good choice for Canon to be packing with this camera. They really should pack it with the 24-105L so the camera could show its true quality.

The camera’s ergonomics were terrific and much improved over the 5DMKII IMO. It felt more solid in the hand.

So in reality my issue was with the lens and NOT the camera. The camera itself seemed EXCELLENT and it was begging me to throw on a nice 24 or 50L on it but during my time with it I was unable to get a hold of those lenses. I really hoped to give this camera a thorough workout but between the nasty weather, the not so good kit zoom, and the fact that I had quite a few other cameras at the same time to test, well, the 7D did not get the attention it deserved.

I would love to give this one another shot with an nice L prime. The 7D and a 24L would be sweet. Also, a buddy of mine owns this camera and he is a HUGE Leica guy but these days he loves shooting his 7D. It has everything going for it. Speed, quality, build, HD movies in 1080P, 24 FPS…yep, the 7D is a great camera but PLEASE, if you buy one do not buy it with the Kit Zoom. You can find the body only at B&H Photo HERE.

I am looking to buy a DSLR soon (for telephoto and macro) as a companion to my M9 and the 7D is on my short list (so is the 5DII and D700). If this camera was full frame I would be ALL OVER IT. This is actually the first Canon body that I like in regards to feel/ergonomics and it is smaller than the somewhat bulky 5D/5DII.

Here are some images with the 7D while I had it. I did have the Canon 50 1.8 as well, but again, I really wanted some L glass to try out.

The Zeiss 85 f/2 Sonnar Lens

Zeiss 85 ZM f/2 Sonnar – This lens is one of the two Zeiss ZM lenses made in Germany and it’s a GORGEOUS hunk of glass. In fact, when it arrived I was WOWED with it’s beautiful contrast, color, and speed. The day it arrived I snapped a couple of sample shots of my son and was wowed with the way it captured him in the very low light. Very 3D and lots of “POP” I liked this lens better for portraits than the Leica 75 Summicron I tested a few weeks back. BUT, I did prefer the summicron for everything else.

This was another lens that I just did not get to go out and shoot that much. I had a very hectic February and with so many other cameras and lenses to shoot I was swamped. I can say with 100% certainty that the Zeiss 85 Sonnar is probably the nicest portrait lens I have ever shot with. It is gorgeous and I guess it should be! This one will set you back about $3400. I shot a series of portraits with it that I can not show here but they were lovely. This is a VERY warm lens that will give you a very rich image and its focus ring is so silky and smooth. The lens is kind of fat and short but it’s not really very heavy.

The 85 Sonnar F2 is sharp even when wide open and has GORGEOUS color if the lighting is right. I can easily recommend this lens if you are interested in using your M8/M9 for portraits. Here are some samples from this fantastic lens during my time with it:

So there you go. I just wanted to write something here because it was either that or write nothing at all. I figured it would be nice to mention these since I did have them here for a while. While I did not write up a full review, all three of these were great. The Canon 7D takes the prize here though. It is a wonderful DSLR and a step in the right direction for canon with its robustness, design and quality. I hear the Canon 100 Macro is amazing with this camera!

I hope you have enjoyed this little mini post. I am still working on the Canon G11 and Pentax K7 reviews so these should be up soon. The Pentax is another great little DSLR but I am hoping to get some better lenses to try with it before I finish up shooting with it. The G11 is a nice little compact but does not beat out the Leica D-Lux 4 or Panasonic LX3 for IQ IMO. To me, those two are still king of the hill for small sensor compacts!

First, here is a cool Leica X1 review by Ted Johnson. If you have not yet seen it be sure to check it out. B&H Photo has been getting some X1’s in every now and then so if you are looking for one you can click here for stock status.

How about 20 incredible videos shot with a Canon 5DMKII? There really are some amazing videos on that page. I have to say that if I were to buy a DSLR system today, it would most likely be a Canon 5DMKII with some L primes. Great camera, awesome video capability.

The mega digital review site and forum, DPreview.com is hosting a Leica challenge and the submission deadline is tomorrow! Only 11 entries so far so get on over there if challenges are your sort of thing and submit your B&W M8/M9 image!

How to construct an ultra slow pinhole camera. How about a 6 month exposure? Pretty cool!

In case you missed it, a link to my youtube channel where ALL of my camera videos are Feel free to subscribe!

and in case you happened to miss this one (not sure how) B&H Photo is accepting pre-orders for the M9, in black or grey. B&H only does this when they know a shipment is on the way so hopefully they will be shipping them soon. One guy who ordered Friday got a call from then saying his order would ship today, so we will see. I do know they do the 1st come 1st served thing so if you managed to get a place in line, congrats. I hope your M9 arrives soon. When it does, be sure to make a post!

Some great Canon rebates going on with 5DMKII and some great lenses.

and I saved the best for last…

A tribute to Vivian Maier. A Chicago street photographer from the 1950’s – 1990’s her never before seen work was recently discovered and sold at an auction. The person who is dislpaying the work at the site said they have 30-40,000 negatives and over 15,000 of them are still undeveloped in the rolls. Pretty exciting as these are being developed and scanned for the website, so be sure to check it out!

Uprooted was a HDR using my D90 and the amazing Tamron 18-50 F2.8 with a Hoya Polarizer.

Decayed was captured when I first got my D90 with the 18-105 kit lense. The grass was so amazingly green I had to take the shot.

Thanks Eric!

I have always been one to say that you can most certainly shoot a wedding with a Leica M9. Yesterday this site was low on the updates due to me being out shooting a wedding and yes, I shot it with my M9! I also brought along the 35 Lux and the 50 Summicron. In my bag I also had the E-P2 and Noktor lens on hand to give that a go, but the real winning images were taken with my M9. From the bright sun to the low light reception, the M9 did not let me down.

At the reception I shot ISO 2500 with B&W JPEG’s. Amazing results! Of course I also shot RAW so I do have the color versions as well but the camera did so well in B&W at ISO 2500, and my whole plan was to shoot in Black and White anyway so it worked out perfect.

Many of the M9 bashers say that you can not use an M9 to shoot a wedding, and that is pure nonsense. I have been told to not even attempt it by a few of my DSLR toting wedding buddies. OK, I will be realistic…the M9 and weddings would not seem to mix to well when you look at it on paper. No auto focus, no 8 FPS, funky center weighted metering..the list goes on. But yes! I am here to tell you that not only can you shoot a wedding with the M9, you can do so with more style and pizazz than you can with a DSLR! Bold statement and maybe I am biased but shooting this wedding was so fun with this camera and with a DSLR it would have been a pain. My results would have been different as well. Yes, I was in that “M9 state of mind”  while shooting

Now I admit that I am not a wedding pro. Hell, I have not shot many at all recently (it’s been a long time). But today I had fun and just wanted to write this post for those out there who say it can’t be done or that it’s not ideal. It can be done, and it can be ideal depending on your style.

If you want a documentary style to your wedding images and want to shoot black and white then an M9 may be just what you are looking for!

Leica M9 and 35 Summilux at 1.4 – I added grain to ALL of the shots shown here

I was simply amazed at the 35 Summilux when shooting in the lower light areas. I shot the lens at 1.4 ALL day long and never stopped it down one time. My ISO range was anywhere between 160 and 2500. The best part is that not one of my images were out of focus. Not bad for a manual camera huh? My guess is that if I had a DSLR I would have had MANY out of focus images AND Missed a few shots due to focus hunting. Sure, something like a Nikon D3s would have been awesome but it may have scared those kids above and they probably would not be so relaxed, ha ha:)

35 Summilux, 1.4, ISO 640 – vignetting and noise added

With the M9 I found it easy to grab quick moments. It was 2 hours before the wedding and I just walked around and snapped away. No one even realized I was there to photograph. I probably looked like a relative taking family snaps.

35 Summilux, 1.4, ISO 640 – vignette and noise added

This wedding was actually shot by someone else. A girl was hired for the job but the bride was a friend of my niece and she asked me a couple of weeks ago if I could shoot the wedding. I turned it down at the time because I felt I did not have fast enough lenses. When the 35 Lux arrived I decided to give it a shot so I called and said I would do it. I was too late I was told there was a girl hired but to come along anyway to shoot some behind the scenes type of stuff. I thought it would be fun and besides, it would give me a chance to test out the M9/35 Lux combo

35 Summilux at F2.8 – ISO 80 – vignette added

I only snapped a few shots outside because the hired photographer took care of the posed shots. I admit that I  am not a fan of posed shots anyway. I prefer to document the day as it happens…real life.

When we went inside I thought I was in for trouble. It was 5 o’clock and the sun was going down, so the light inside the church was getting  lower and lower. An ISO bump here, an ISO bump there..all was good. Remember, these images have all had noise ADDED to them as part of my B&W conversion!

35 Summilux, 1.4, ISO 320

Next two shots…50 Summicron, F2, ISO 1250

Since I was not the “official photographer” I did not want to intrude on the girl who was there shooting but I have to say, during the kiss she did not get out of her seat to get the image. I went center aisle and squatted down to get the one above just in time.

I also wanted to stay in the background and be unnoticed. Again, I did not want to intrude on the hired hand so I kept my distance for most shots.

Next two shots, 50 Summicron at F2

Once the wedding ceremony was over it was time to head over to the reception. When I walked it I was like “WHOA!, It’s dark in here!”. Yep, it was any NON Flash photographers worst nightmare. I set the M9 to ISO 2500 and did a test shot with my niece with the 35 Lux wide open.

Hmm, looked good to me. The above image has no NR and was shot in camera B&W. So away I went to finish off what I could before I had to leave. I could not stay the whole night and since there was another photographer there I was not really needed anyway. For the cake cutting I had to crouch down under the other photographer but like this shot anyway

Rest of the images were shot with the 35 Summilux at 1.4, ISO 2500 and in camera B&W JPEG.

Also, while the other photographer got this shot…(they were looking at here)

I got these…

I had a blast shooting my M9 at this wedding and came away with about 50-60 keepers. Oh, and I only shot 100 frames. Again, not bad for a manual camera! Now, if your style of wedding photography is different than mine, the m9 may not work for you. If you want bright, colorful, noise free images a Nikon D3s or big Pro Canon with some nice primes would do the trick. But for those who say an M9 can’t shoot weddings I have to disagree and say YES IT CAN! The last 9 images were all shot at ISO 2500 with B&W JPEGs in camera. No noise reduction! Focusing was easy and I did not miss any moments. My only wish was that I had a 50 Lux ASPH because in this kind of light, you will need all the speed you can get. Actually, the Noct 0.95 would have been simply AMAZING. I know of a few guys who shoot weddings with film M’s and digital M’s and at least  two of them shoot with the Noct 0.95. Their images are among the best I have seen and no, they do not use a DSLR.

Who knows, maybe I will start to take more wedding jobs. I had fun with this one and all I had one me was one camera and two small lenses and I was there as a guest really, not the official photographer.

Also, as of this writing B&H Photo is now taking pre-orders for the M9! Order now and you may be able to get one within a couple of weeks. A bunch of you have been asking me where to get one and B&H is my recommendation for the quickest way to the M9 right now. You can pre-order the black one HERE, or the grey one HERE.

I hope  you have enjoyed my little M9 wedding story. I also want to thank the bride and groom for allowing me to shoot and to also share these images on my blog. Thank you! Oh, and BTW..I also shot a few frames with the E-P2 and 50 Noktor…I will be posting those later today in my Noktor review diary!

UPDATE: Due to some e-mail requests asking me for color samples I am posting a few here. Keep in mind that the B&W samples above were not really processed. These were just out of camera B&W. Below are some processed color shots but still, no noise reduction was done on any of them. Yea, they are small size but they print nicely, even the 2500 ISO images.

“Hi Steve

We like your page lots. It helped us to make the choice for the Leica M9 including a 50mm 1.4. The camera arrived just in time before Christmas. Perfect as we had planned a trip to the Falkland Island where we could test it. We had lots of fun taking pictures of penguins, albatrosses, sea lions etc. A good training field Best regards from snowy Switzerland,

Paul & Lina”

Awesome image Paul! Thanks for sending it in!

The Leica 50 Summitar Classic Lens Review on the Leica M9 – It’s time for a classic review! Today I am writing about and showing samples from the 1942 Leica 50 Summitar lens. This is a classic! An oldie but a goodie and it was made before the 50 summicron for the old Leica screw mount cameras. This is an F2 lens and its performance is quite unique and beautiful at the same time. This is what is so cool about Leica M bodies. You have such a vast selection of glass to try out or buy. For example, this lens sells for about $300 on e-bay. To use it on your M camera (MP, M6, M7, M8, M9) you will need an adapter like this one.

I want to first thank a Mr. Max Marinucci! He was kind enough to send me this lens to try out and I loved it so much, well, I now own it THANK YOU TO MAX! Btw, Max is the guy who wrote the great article about film (read it here). I think we will have a new article by him soon, and it should be pretty interesting!

Let me start by saying that after owning my Leica M9 since October 9th, 2009 I love it more every day. I have not had the itch to sell it, I have not had the itch to move to a DSLR and my only “itch” has been wanting to buy a 2nd body in Grey. That is actually a goal of mine..to buy a grey one within the next year. TO ME, the Leica M9 is the best digital camera available right now, again, for my needs. Yes it is manual focus, yes it is limited with no macro and no telephoto zooms. Sure it is a little slow with certain things but man, there is really nothing like shooting with an M wether you have a film M or a digital M.

You guys already are well aware of my love for this camera so let me get to this gorgeous classic lens. I want to make a prediction…the price of this lens is going to go up and e-bay will soon be filled with Summitars going for $500, $600 and who knows, maybe more. As soon as M9 owners see what kind of classical sweetness they can get from this lens they will want one. That means YOU if  you shoot with an M9

COLLAPSABLE – BUT BEWARE!

This lens is a collapsible lens. This means that you can twist the lens and push it in to your camera for the ultimate compact setup. When you want to use it, just pull it up and out. BUT BEWARE!! Many say you can damage your M8 or M9 by pushing the lens in while others say it is OK. I can say that I did in fact try it on my M9 going VERY Slowly (Yes, I am crazy). It did collapse and did not touch anything inside my M9, but it had to be VERY close. As a rule, I keep it extended as I would not want to damage my camera. When you extend the lens you can twist it to sort of lock it in place so it will not collapse on its own. But as you can see in the pics below, it is collapsable on the M9.

Here is a shot of the lens collapsed and extended ON THE CAMERA!

CLASSIC = Beautiful Portraits…

When Max sent me this lens he told me how nice it was but I assumed it was going to be soft, flat and dull (kind of like the Noktor I am reviewing for m4/3). When I attached it to my M9 and fired off a few shots I immediately knew that I needed one of these in my arsenal. I found it simply incredible for portraits due to its ability to smooth the skin and draw your subject in a way that no modern lens can do.

Here are a couple of samples, taken at F2 on the Leica M9. One in color (tweaked color a bit in CS4 to make it more classic looking) and one in Black and White (converted in Silver Efex Pro):

Wow…a lens from 1942. I always thought these old lenses were foggy, had low contrast and could not compare to any lenses made  today. It just goes to show you that sometimes these old lenses can be better for certain things than the new lenses! For those times when I want a soft portrait look I will reach for the summitar. One thing to keep in mind though is the minimum focus distance is 1m, not 0.7m. So you really can not get close to your subject. The Black & White image above was at the minimum focus distance.

CLASSIC = Swirly Bokeh

Bokeh. It seems that  today we are all obsessed with this word and effect. When buying a fast or semi fast lens we want to see pleasant out of focus backgrounds and the way a lens renders these backgrounds can sometimes be ugly and headache inducing and can sometimes be beautiful. For example, I think the Leica Noctilux has beautiful Bokeh. I feel the legendary Leica 50 Summilux ASPH has incredibly SMOOTH bokeh. The 50 Summicron can be a bit odd at times but it falls in the BUSY bokeh category. So what about this summitar? Well, I would call it CLASSIC. It has that unique swirly type of bokeh that is loved by some and hated by others but I think its amazingly cool and I was surprised to see this from an F2 lens. In some shots it reminded me of the Noctilux Bokeh and to me, that is a good thing. One thing is for sure…you will not get this look from ANY modern Leica lens!

Here are some photos I snapped with the summitar a week or two ago. Not only will this show you some samples of Bokeh, but also color and contrast. These are straight from camera, just resized.

You can see the “swirl” in #4 and #6. I personally thing this lens produces beautiful out of focus backgrounds. Here are more samples showing the 50 Summitars MOJO. All at F2 You can click the images for a larger view

If you are a fan of this look like I am then you may want to start searching for one of these lenses Not only do I find the Bokeh very interesting and unique but look at the color and contrast! Gorgeous! The samples above are all direct from camera with no processing! The 50 Summitar is a gem indeed. There is not really much more I can say about this lens except that it is a classic, it is built extremely well, can only be found in chrome, and works superbly on the Leica M9!

YES, It is also sharp!

“No way ” I said when I started looking at my images at 100% on my Imac 27. The sharpness of this lens is SUPERB! It’s sort of a smooth but sharp look instead of a clinical sharp look. Here are a couple of FULL SIZE out of camera examples.

This was shot just to test sharpness! Leica M9, 50 Summitar, F4 – Click HERE for full size JPEG

And at F2…

PROS AND CONS:

PROS:

• It’s tiny!
• Can be found cheap on e-bay (at the time of this writing)
• The build is 100% Leica!
• It’s extremely cool to have a lens from the 40’s on your M9. It’s even better when you see the quality it pumps out.
• Unique and sometimes gorgeous bokeh.
• It’s actually sharp, even wide open. Not pin sharp like the modern lenses but sharp enough.
• A great portrait lens when you want a smooth look.
• Color is sublime.
• Contrast is good.

CONS:

• Closest focus distance is 1m, so not very close.
• Collapsing the lens into your M could possibly damage it, so beware!
• May be hard to find a clean copy free of haze, fungus and dust.
• Needs an adapter to mount to an M camera.

Conclusion

If you own an M9 go search for one of these now!!! It’s a great little 50 to add to your collection and while it will not replace your 50 lux or 50 cron, or whatever your main 50 may be, it is nice to have one of these in your kit for times when you want the cool look this lens can give you. I LOVE It and am so happy to now own this one. Again, THANKS MAX! Oh, and if you do not own an M9 it will still work on your M8 or film M.

Here are a few more shots with the lens on the M9. Enjoy!

Shot at F2 (I can’t seem to shoot it at any other aperture because it is so beautiful at F2!)

again, at F2 in direct sunlight. Notice how this lens also appears to keep highlights from blowing. I took this shot with the E-P2 and Noktor and it was not usable. Blown highlights, dull color and mushy results. This summitar handled the light with ease.

This one was also at F2 but I added the “Vintage” filter in Aperture 3 just for fun and to try it out

I love the way the Summitar and M9 handled the light here. It almost appears that the leaves have been “sculpted”. Very 3D and superb color/contrast.
