Couldn't find a Leica in any of the pix . I thought the guy in the blue jacket across from the truck in the 9th series had one , but it was just some junk on my screen .


Seriously ... got 5 out of 10 . I've got both an M9 and a 5D2 , there's a difference straight out of the camera . The M9's images seem to be more saturated , sorta like they were shot on Velvia . I suspect it's due to the sensor design on the Leica . I can get close to what the M9 does by playing with saturation/luminance sliders in post on Canon files , though.

I got 6 out of ten even though (Philistine that I am) I've no idea if or what differences there are between 'the Leica look' and anything else...I guessed on the basis of the likely kind of photo a Leica-owner would take. Even so, only marginally better than a 50:50 pot luck.

I used the same logic, but went for the least likely as I figured they might do it that way!

I got 5 out of 10... I missed the X Vario shots. Thankfully I spotted the M9 immediately.

The reason I love the M is the shooting experience feeling mainly. I think the cmos sensor Ms and the sl are not the same as the ccd models. Plus LR will let you create the look. Just my opinion. What it does show is that in a blind test, no one knows the camera really.

The photos are also processed, so spotting the Leica is even more difficult. But I think, apart from the feeling during shooting which I cannot judge, he has a point. There is a 'Leica-look', unmistakenly in some photos. I think it's funny that someone is spending time and energy to do an experiment. Not to start a fight between the have and havenots.
