Post Your D-Lux Images

Four of my D-Lux shots there, three with heavy editing. I'm mainly a Monochrom shooter who can't stand shooting colour! But I found a way of editing that mutes the colours, making colour bearable! It's a superb little camera, good to have in a coat pocket somewhere, 'just in case'.

Which one do you have? When the Lux 8 was Unobtanium and the Lux 7 was still in nosebleed pricing, I found a LNIB Lux Typ 109. I couldn't be happier with it. It has arguably the best opinion about what color should look like I've seen, certainly as compared to my Nikon D750 DSLR. It has superb monochrome rendering. Like you, I prefer restrained color in most cases, not the garish oversaturated cartoons so often seen amongst digisnappers. The Lux seems to have this well in hand.

The only thing I really gave up was 18 mpix vs 12 mpix but even so, the images are stunning even when zoomed in post. For example see this upthread:

Chuck, I have the 100 years anniversary D-Lux 8 model, but wish I’d bought the regular black version, both being exactly the same camera. But I don’t lose sleep over it. I’m not familiar with all the different models.
