In reply to: David Farkas wrote a new post, Leica Q2 Announced: 47 Megapixels + Weather Sealing Today, Leica Camera has announced the Leica Q2, the highly anticipated successor to the popular Leica Q (Typ 116). The new model keeps the same compact form factor and exceptional 28mm f/1.7 Summilux ASPH lens, […] ViewA few comments:
The crop modes are a *huge* improvement over the Q, due to superior resolution.
The bigger battery is a very welcome change.
I'm able to get to all necessary functions with the default settings.
The lens hood is perfect, and the Thumbs-Up lens cap with string is superb.
The optional grip is excellent – highly recommended, and…[Read more]dalethorn replied to the topic FS: Luigi custom case for Leica Q. in the forum Gear For Sale 5 years, 7 months ago

I save them by camera make/model on my website, and I save them by hierarchical filename on my computers and backup drives.
I use the iTunes app to organize them on my Apple devices, but since Apple sorts only by date, I have to “prep” a copy of them for iTunes so the date order and filename order match.

The X-U is every bit a Leica ‘X', with waterproof features.

A couple of street scenes, one a drawing on the side of an alley next to a door, easy to miss, looks like Val Kilmer (not sure). The actors were working on a commercial of some kind, moving down the street pretty quickly.

Amazing how noise eats into moderate low-light shots that could probably be done just as well with an iPhone. And this camera's sensor is an APS-C.
Leica X2 Paul Smith edition, f2.8, 1/40 sec. handheld, ISO 800.

I had a unique experience with Mahmood of the Charleston Center for Photography, in that he took my photo with a medium format film camera using a Polaroid back, with very old B&W film donated by an industry insider. So I snapped this one. The Leica X2 sensor must be a very old generation, as the noise and image quality at ISO 800 are much worse…[Read more]

Normally I would never consider shooting the X2 at 1/5 second handheld, given that the X2 does not have a true optical VR/IS. But when I'm in a hurry and snapping more-or-less spontaneously, I sometimes do that and just accept that I might lose the images to blur, if it's not critically important to get the shot. This image was selected from 2…[Read more]

Hurricane evacuation from Charleston SC – this image was taken through a hotel window in Greensboro NC, 300 miles distant. It was grey, very wet, and the image quality suffered from the combination of effects.

No. 1 my favorite art gallery, having watched the master (Reinert) work his way from very good ca. 2010 to master craftsman today. No. 2, a self confident cat guarding an elegant estate in the historic district. This was a heavy crop, from 16 to ~2.5 mp.

The ‘Pipes' band played a nice selection of Irish and Scottish music. The lighting seemed to favor a little too much blue, or maybe that impression is driven by the costumes. — I've tried the photo of the church from the lot 2 blocks away many times, and never kept any, due to the clutter in the parking lot. This time I cropped more of the…[Read more]
