    The Q at 28 mm isn't a first choice in birds, but sometimes the little ones let you get close. The beak, closest to the head, shows how young this little birdie is.

    Interior of church – I needed to select and darken (gamma, lightness) the large white object containing the Jesus-figure behind the altar. It was overexposed, so some surface detail or texture was lost. Still a pretty good win, shooting handheld and JPEG with the Q. I would have preferred to shoot a little higher above the pews, but not having…[Read more]

      is it possible for leica to remove the gray band behind the viewfinder information so as not to obstruct the view of the entire image in the viewfinder for better composition?

      is it also possible to introduce a square format?

      thanks.

    Thanks for looking – I'm still growing into the Q. My first 28 was a Nikon Coolpix A, APS-C with 28 mm perspective. It's a great camera, especially given the small size, but the Q is on a new level.

    Thanks, Dale, for the series, giving a sense of your community. Seems calm and relaxed, comfortable.

    Does the Q suit your style? I like to stay with one lens for extended times, sometimes a 28. šŸ™‚
