[Leica] Color Balance

[John McMaster]

Still not the same image? Are they both from the same camera? From the images you have shown the SL looks to have different colours to the M(240), unless you have been tweaking them...

What color issues?  The warm vs cold?  I think either one could honestly show what was there.  It's just a matter of preference to me.  Sometimes I like warm and sometimes I like cold.

Here is the monochrome from the M246:

and here are two more balanced warm and then cold:

I don't consider that to be an issue, just a preference.  Some stock buyers may want a warmer and some might want a colder photo.  I like both and, in this case, I prefer the color over the B&W.

Thanks,

Tina
