Our new D-Lux 109s


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

My wife and I both bought a Leica D-Lux 109. So far this little camera is great. Haven't had much time to use it but I did get a few pics the day we bought them and a few at work yesterday. I also shoot with my Nikon D3S, D2X and Olympus OM-D Em-1.

Welcome to the forum!

 

Nice shots with your new toy.  I also recently acquired one and it's a wonderful little camera, and so useful if I don't feel like shooting with my M-P or film Ms.  Having owned a succession of DLux- series compacts, this one is by far the best. 

 

Regards

Snapshot - are you processing raw in Lightroom ?? Be sure to stopover at the space and air museum in McMinnville Oregon on your way up to BC. 101 is a great trip- especially with a leica or two !!!

The pictures were shot in jpg and a little tweek with Lightroom.

Hi, I just purchased the Leica D-Lux 109 today. I am used to using auto mode all the time. I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew because I don't have a clue what any of the settings really do. Can anyone point me in the right direction so that I can learn to use it like a pro. I am not implying that this is what a pro would use for a camera, basically I would like to get the most out of the camera and in the process learn about camera's and photography. Thanks for any help in advance.

The bottom line is results and judging by your images I'd say you're already doing great with the camera. Color balance, contrast, exposure, focus and depth of field control are all spot on. There are a lot of functions and special effects you'll probably never need or want to use, so i wouldn't suggest trying to learn them all. Just pick out the few you want to master and learn them.

 

Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I hope it is not inappropriate of me complementing your photo's that I found via your signature. You have taken some absolutely gorgeous photo's. Nice Job!

Thank You, I happened to find and purchase this book on Amazon last night. What is nice about purchasing it on Amazon, they gave me the kindle edition free, so I was able to jump right in. Thank you again for your help.

Have taken about 500 photos thus far and am very pleased with the D-Lux 109.  Much lighter than my DSLR and thus much easier to handle.  The viewfinder is really crisp and very helpful in bright light situations.  Close-ups really nice with beautifully shallow depth of field.  The attached photo was taken in the Everglades National Park about a week ago.
