I needed a punchy (but not overkill) preset that would bring back some life in my Leica M10-P pictures.
The pre M11 CMOS sensors in the Leica M10 and Typ 240 are notorious for blowing out highlights like reallllly quickly, so I am often shooting at -0.7 E/V when I'm out and about, especially if there is any sky or wild exposure differentials.
FYI I built this preset based on a YouTube video by Jaycie Linh, so if you have any complaints, take it up with them! 🤓
To add some additional flavor, I've recently been using some of the built-in profiles in Lightroom Classic to mix things up, for example the Vintage 01/02 profiles to mute some of the colors:
Side Note: the Adobe Neutral is another one to try that gives you a good starting "Flat" profile. It's typically not starred by default so you'll have to go to the Profile explorer to find it.
Here are some ACTUAL Portra 400 shots taken on the Pentax 645nii
Here is the video that sent me down the path to creating this preset and goes into much greater detail than I can in this blog post.
