[Leica] Nathan's PAD 21/8/2020: some IR with my M8

[Jean-Michel Mertz]

Very interesting set, Nathan. The M8 IR pictures are indeed inspiring. Has the M8 become a museum piece these days, used for IR pictures and the like? The only digital Leica camera I own is ... the M8! Leica gear has become a luxury I can't afford. And I think the M8 coupled with the summicron asph. 35 still does a wonderful job - if the light is right, I must admit!

Objet : [Leica] Nathan's PAD 21/8/2020: some IR with my M8

Inspired by the recent conversation regarding M8 and infrared with Peter Klein, and Peter’s subsequent posting, I took my own M8 out for a spin yesterday afternoon. Four images:

The old road connecting Alicante and Valencia (now largerly superseded by the adjacent AP7 motorway):

The rocky beach called Baños de la Reina (“queen’s bath”) near the harbour in El Campello:

As an exception, I included the technical details in the captions of the pictures:
Leica M8, 28mm Voigtlander Ultron, Heliopan 715 filter. Exposure: 1/30 sec. at f5.6.

Cheers,
Nathan
