Good photos you all, great to see the x series at work...and yes, for mountain scenes and hikes the small sizes and the light weight are ideal !

A couple from my X Typ 113
A couple from my X Typ 113
Hi everyone,
Adding a couple from my X (113). Still getting used to this camera, and its EVF. I'm a little bit frustrated that they never released a firmware update to help the slow focus speed (especially in dim environments), but I really like the image quality.
I used a cheap, wide angle adapter on this one:
Here's another showing you can get *relatively* close:
And one more, from an early, behind the scenes event I was working:

Lemalk,
Welcome and thanks for keeping this thread happening 🙂 I love the X 113, and find the manual focus works really well in dim light with the magnification (focus assist) feature. Also the Summilux actually manually focuses like a real manual focus lens, rather than focus by wire.
Sometimes in situations where I need quick focus, I find a spot in advance and hold focus then shoot when the moment is right. There are some sacrifices with this like every camera but image quality, ease of processing the files and layout and feel of the X 113 have made it a keeper for me.
I never considered putting a wide adapter on the camera and your pic looks good!

Thank you very much for the welcome and the tips. As you mentioned, like any camera, the X takes some adjustments and getting 'used to.'
I appreciate it for what it is, then become slightly frustrated by it, then return to it since the images are just very, very, easy to work with (as you mentioned).
Cheers - and let's keep this thread going 🙂

And here is a nice user-review of the camera that was posted a while back.

Thank you Robert! Of course technically the X is still larger than the X1- X2 or X E, but yes still small and sensor-wise also if that was what you were referring to.
I was initially attracted to the X1 because the form factor and shape of the body reminded me of the Leica IIIa, c, f

Thank you Robert, for keeping the thread alive with a beautiful post!
I usually work with DNG but have had fun tweaking my JPEG engine on the X 113. This is ISO 1600 1000th @ f2

Artist Point at Mount Baker -Washington State
Artist Point at Mount Baker -Washington State
My intention heading to Mount Baker yesterday (a beautiful October Saturday afternoon) was to go up high on a fire road and then hike. Overrun by hikers and cars, we turned back and settled for the tried and true Artist's Point. I can't recall ever photographing at this spot before although I've been up many times in the area.

From the motorway, #2
A few days ago because of family reasons we had to make a short trip. Weather was not good but better than a few days before.
Sometimes when driving I see something interesting and ask my wife to take a photo...and sometimes she manages to make it as I desire 🙂
My small almost 8 years old Leica x1 is still a good companion when photography is not the main purpose of the trip.
