    New camera, Leica X-E. Introduced in 2014, replacement for X1/X2. I had the X1 in 2010, now the X-E – APS-C, fixed lens with 35 mm equiv. focal length.

    1) Just another sunset photo. Note to self: Use spot focus or manual focus on landscapes.
    2) This one failed per the above note, but I kept it anyway.

    I haven't done underwater yet since someone else is going to do that with my camera – soon they say. But I have done quite a lot of shooting on land, and the X-U reminds me very much of the X1 that I had, with many improvements, not the least of which is the f1.7 lens.

    It would be cool to see a Leica lens on a smartphone, but first some observations:

    While the lenses on the Panasonic-related D-Lux and D-Lux 6 are/were top-notch lenses, the Leica lens on the new $700 Panasonic ZS-100 is not so great. The Leica lenses on the Leica C and related Panasonic LF1 were not very good at all. The tiny LF1 was $500…[Read more]

    I was considering this, but instead I swapped it out to a photographer for other gear, and bought an Omega Grey Side of the Moon wristwatch.
