don't think long-long...just go and get it...haha

people say this camera is the (other) "son of leica m8"...





but i must say the color tone straight from camera using jpeg is not nice (blue=cyan-ish and red=magenta-ish), i dunno maybe it's just me...that's why you see a lot of people prefer to shoot b&w with this camera...i shoot in raw and process in lightroom...

if it works, it works...it it doesn't, it doesn't...for me it works...heh

ya...i do agree with everyone...the pic is beautiful without the pinhole...i just wanted to have a different effect...i'm going for a film-ish look...i've been doing truthful straight-out of camera photos for a long time...learning editting photos in lightroom give me a new outlook on digital photography...esp on post-processing...cheers

nope...i don't use CPL...i shoot RAW and process in Lightroom...color graded accordingly...

1st grading - is adjust whites and blacks...i turned my photo into BW...played around the tone levels to get rich blacks and popping whites...
2nd grading - turn back the color on, i color correct the white balance...i adjust the temperature so that the clouds are white...
3rd grading - i played around the HSL focussing on the blues...for highlights, midtones and shadows...
4th grading - adjust the warm tones a bit for highlight...

lastly add the pinhole thing and sharpen the image a tiny bit...
