When I saw this photo, it hit me why the Leica M8’s black-and-white shots pull me in way more than the M9’s. In my mind, only black-and-white film with a yellow filter could come close. The M8’s black-and-white portraits? They make faces pop with brightness. It’s because there’s no infrared cut-off filter, giving those photos a unique charm—like an invisible spotlight lighting up people’s faces on the street. Pretty awesome, right?
