Jim, don't you just love the IQ? And the bw image at 3200 shows no noise that I can detect. :angel:

Dave, yes it's fantasti, not an M9 but damn good. The lat few today are jpg out of the camera, slight exposure and sharping but no noise reduction ( other than what the camera did) my iPad won't import the raw file. I'm out of town again. This is quickly becoming my non-m9 or film camera.

Wow, Jim...I haven't tried that setting yet! Nicely rendered images!

Day 2 with the X2. From my routine visit to this local antique shop on Valencia.

ISO 800-1600. Shot with either CV 35mm VF, LCD or hip-shot. Developed in LR3 with minimal PP. No noise reduction or cropping.

Nice job! Is that Lotta's on Polk?

Coelacanth, First this is a nice set of images as always. Just curious as to how you find the CV finder...is it reasonably accurate?

 

[coelacanth]

jcrutcher, thanks. It's "Stuff" on Valencia next to 101 overpass. My current favorite in the city. 🙂

muser53, Thank you. 🙂
CV VF: accurate enough, as much as any optical viewfinders are. (I'm just used to using them on Barnack Leica.) Those shots are taken with 28mm version because I didn't have 35mm one till late Saturday. I just compensated the FOV difference in my head. Now that I have 35mm version, I think it works just fine. For close distance, just use the dotted line for the top edge, nose of KIWI adapter tube (if you have it) as bottom edge of parallax adjustment. 😉 For closer distance, well, OVFs aren't made for that so LCD would be better choice.

BTW, because of EVF connector, X2's hot shoe is sitting a bit higher than X1. It's like Leica I = X1, Leica II = X2. Kinda appropriate. 😉

How is manual focusing with it?

 

[coelacanth]

Been busy with work and haven't got much of shooting time (and I just got the camera on Friday) but here are some new shots from today. I'm loving the simplicity, and at least for me, focusing is more than fine.

Some city snaps.

Hey, I checked your blog and like it a lot!

Did you use AF or MF for these? I am finding MF is extremely easy to use and is faster than my M3 with 0 focus time and no shutter lag.🙂
