I'd be interested to see some serious landscapes from this camera. Considering the resolution it seems capable of and the tonal range I see occasionally in other threads it should be exceptional.

Examples anyone?

WOW.

Exceptionally nice. Really great to see how the MM responds to filters.

How are prints and also how big can you print?

Technical details? Lenses? Filters?

Jaap, the lenses are abbreviated, with 90AA I mean the Apo Summicron 90 mm f:2 Asph., and with SE 21/3.4 I mean the Super Elmar 21 mm f:3.4 Asph.. CV Heliar 15/4.5 is the Voigtländer 15 mm f:4.5II.
Filters are B+W, 091 Red and 060 Yellow-Green as noted.
For the 15 mm f:4.5II I did not mention the custom made attenuator type grad ND, 2 stop, from a Singh-Ray Galen Rowell 2 f-stop soft grad ND Filter ND-2G-SS and a 52 mm Tama U-Slim Digital UV Filter.

Tech details:
# 1
90AA, ISO 1000, 1/250 sec, f:2 (I had to guestimate the focus with some bracket shots, unfortunately, my 90AA has to be adjusted for the MM, has slight backfocus). Conversion with ACR 7.

#2
90AA, ISO 800, 1/125 sec, f:2. 25 shots from a closer camera point, stitched with PTGUi. Converison with Photo Ninja.

#3
CV Heliar 15 mm f:4.5 @ 1/90 sec f:6.7 ISO 320, with attached screw on 0.9 ND grad filter. Conversion with Photo Ninja, then CS3 and Silver Efex for a manual blend after double converison and manual stitch after flattening the blends, to get a square FOV

#4
90AA, ISO 5000, 1/250 sec, f:2 , six shots stitched with PTGUi for a wider FOV. Conversion with Photo Ninja

#5
Super Elmar 21 mm f:3.4 Asph., ISO 320, f:6.7 with B+W 091 Red filter screwed on, three shots for a vertical stitch (PTGUi), 1/125 sec to 1/180 sec. Conversion with LR4

Thank you :) Raymond and Cal, I have no MM prints... :bang:

But you have skill... One day I hope to develop similar skills.

A steep learning curve is a head, new to digital, number 4 on a waiting list for a MM.

I'm just wondering where is the resolution limit of the camera from someone so advanced.

Cal, with the already large prints in mind, I have from the M9, I think that MM prints will look fine, even as really large prints. I do not stitch for larger file size or resolution, I do that when I want another FOV and have only one or two lenses with me.
