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.

I refer to this style as "Early East Berlin" - all the charm of both the 3rd Reich and the Bolsheviks rolled up into one. I thought this was a particular European sensibility until I spent a couple years near the MIT campus in Cambridge, MA. There are some truly hideous buildings to be seen there as well.

I am much interested in the beauty that can be found in the decay of things. It can't happen fast enough to building like this 😉
 
It was the home of an insurance company, who left it a decade or so ago, since which time it has lain unoccupied. There were plans to turn it into student flats, but this application has (thankfully) been rejected. I’d like to get inside, but it is closed. I’ll turn my camera towards it every now and then.
 
It's the winter doldrums for light this time of year in the US midlands. I went out over the past week to try and make my film cameras shoot good things but it was not to be until the last couple days.

In the mean time, the D-Lux Type 109 kept begging to be used - Feb. 2026:
