    dalethorn started the topic Sunset in South Carolina with the D-Lux typ 109. in the forum Leica D-Lux 10 years, 1 month ago

    I've got a Leica Q due in here in a couple of days, so I need to hurry and post a few of the Leica D-Lux images I've been neglecting. It's a shame I haven't done more with the D-Lux (same as LX-100), since it's a great all-around camera with really good performance.

    I had the Monochrom and new Noctilux for about 6 months, and while it's a great combo, the primary reason to carry such a heavy and expensive piece of glass is the f0.95 aperture. But that aperture has an extremely small DOF, and unless you dedicate yourself to working with that constraint, you'd be disappointed. My Q doesn't arrive until 3 days…[Read more]

    Panasonic makes some great cameras in collaboration with Leica (ex: the D-Lux), but the Leica Q does not seem like a tie-in with Panasonic, for the M-type body if nothing else.

    While there are likely several compact cameras available with fixed 28 mm (effective focal length) lenses, the one I remember best was the Nikon Coolpix A, which I used for some time. It did a good job for me, although I thought the images were slightly sterile or ‘technical'-looking. This new Q (which is on the way to me now) should improve…[Read more]

    Interior/altar of an Episcopal church. I suppose I should be happy with the overall look and maybe even the resolution (12 mp sensor), but I hope someday I can get a camera this size with a higher quality sensor with 24 or more megapixels, for greater detail.

    dalethorn started the topic Fishing for Sheepsheads in South Carolina in the forum Leica D-Lux 10 years, 5 months ago

    Here was a spontaneous take – in the excitement of a good catch, I'm lucky to get five seconds of a pose for composing these shots. For some reason the camera didn't focus on anything in particular, yet I had full winter sunlight, so the fish or the fisherman should have been in focus. I've mostly been using the highlight/shadow (-2 / +2)…[Read more]

    Hi Jack (never say that at the airport BTW) – the triptch saved at 3.16 mb, while the diptych saves now at only 316 kb, and a small size, so I can't compare them. It couldn't be the forum change I don't think, since I can view the 3.16 mb images at full size now.

    I don't often post a product image, but here's one I did today that I'm slightly proud of (shot as JPEG only). I don't get much DOF with the small camera at f1.7, so to get the relevant parts in focus requires lining things up ahead of time, more-or-less equidistant. It's hard for me to get a good background since I like to stay in the context…[Read more]
