  1. I have a Canon 5D which I use most of the time and a G7 to use as a pocket camera. For times when the 5D plus 24-105 lens is too big and I want more fun than the G7 will give, I was thinking of a D2. In fact, I put a $100 non-refundable down payment on a used (excellent ++) D2 from Tamarkin this morning. I am beginning to think I am crazy to pay almost $900 for a four-year-old 5MP camera with an EVF, long (by today's standards) shutter lag, and reported issues with sensor failure. On the other hand, the camera/lens are calling me, and the photo examples I have seen do seem to have a certain look about them. Does such a look really exist with this camera, or does it just seem this way because most who use this camera happen to be goood photographers? If there is such a look, does it come from the lens or from the in-camera image processing? Do the D2 users here tend to use JPEG most of the time?
  2. Hallo, ich habe meine Digilux 2 seit 11 Jahren. Ich habe vor einigen Jahren einen no-name Ersatzakku gekauft. Ich habe die letzten Jahre die Kamera selten benutzt - der Akku war schnell leer. Zuletzt lädt der Akku ca. 10 min auf - dann erlischt das grüne Licht beim Ladegerät - wenn ich den Batterie fest hineindrücke - leuchtet das Gerät wieder für eine Minute - und so weiter. Der Akku ist dann nur wenig aufgeladen. Frage: Genügt es einen neuen Akku zu kaufen oder ist das Ladegerät defekt? Kann man das Ladegerät einfach testen? Im Internetversand wird ein Set mit 2 akkus + Ladegerät um ca.40 € angeboten. Ist das empfehlenswert? Danke im Voraus für die Tipps. Imkerjoe
  3. Hi, I suffered from Gear Acquisition Syndrome from 2005 through 2012. After that I never touched a camera for two years. Just wanted to let you know how I recovered. I purchased a Digilux 2. This was after reading through all the threads here. Thank-you all, and to the inomparable D2, for helping me. Over and Out.
  4. Wer hat Lust seine 5 besten Bilder aus den Schwestern hier zu präsentieren? Zur Erinnerung an eine Leica wie es sie so nicht wieder geben wird.

  6. I love my D2, but unfortunately I found a problem in Digilux 2 manual focus @ infinity. Basically manual focus @ infinity will not focus on infinity at all. Here is my test: [1] Put camera on tripod, set aperture @ F2, set zoom @ 28 mm, and set focus distance at infinity. I took a picture, and I found both foreground and background are blur, and I don't even know where is the focus. [2] Set focus @ AF, point to infinity, and took second picture when AF indicate light is green. this picture is very sharp, both background and foreground, which is expected. It looks like this problem only occur at bigger aperture (F2, F2.8, F4), when I use F5.6 and F8, manual focus @ infinity seems work fine, I got sharp image. I think this issue will make manual "zone focus" difficult. I am not sure if this happened to me, or someone else also experienced the same issue? thanks a lot!!
  7. Liebe Mitglieder, Ich habe eine Digilux 2 mit einer späten Seriennummer, also zu einer Zeit gebaut, wo es keine Probleme mit dem Sensor geben soll wie bei den früheren Produktionen. Jetzt ist es mir passiert, dass die Camera von Zeit zu Zeit nicht mehr anging, dann aber wieder doch, also soetwas wie ein Wackelkontakt. Wenn sie angeht ist sie voll funktionsfähig, wenn sie nicht angeht passiert gar nichts. Ich habe sie zu Leica eingeschickt und telefonisch erklärt bekommen, die Camera sei nicht mehr reparabel, da die Elektronik kaputt sei und Leica die entsprechende Platine nicht mehr lagert. Auch auf wiederholte Nachfrage wurde mir nicht gesagt, was genau kaputt sei und stattdessen angeboten zu einem ermäßigten Preis eine neue Camera zu kaufen. Meine Frage ist nun, ob jemand jemanden kennt, dem ich die Camera zur Reperatur schicken kann? Der Defekt ist ja an/aus, es müsste sich also um ein relativ grobstoffliches Problem handeln, dass ggf. auch ohne neue Platine repariert werden könnte. Auch würde ich gerne wissen, ob ich anderenfals die Platine von der baugleichen Pannasonic benutzen könnte? Ich bin Geigenbaumeister und war sehr glücklich mit dieser Camera um meine Instrumente abzulichten! Sie war für mich als Laie perfekt und lieferte sehr charmante Photos. Liebe Grüße und vielen Dank für die Hilfe :-)
  8. I've read a few very interesting pieces on the Digilux, including Andy Piper's excellent Photo.net review, Torsten Overgaard's inspiring article and C. Garrard's more recent and positive "re-review". I'm pretty intrigued by this camera. Accepting the various flaws of the camera (RAW buffer, EVF, ISO noise etc) and that it is by today's standards old tech, how would it be to use it as a completely manual camera akin to how one uses an analog M? I mean I usually don't take photos at a faster rate than 10 secs between them and provided one can live with the EVF I guess it should be fine to use manual focus at all times. The lens seems to be able to produce really nice photos, esp black and white and at 100 ISO. Perhaps I'm completely wrong, but this camera seems like a pretty cool camera to have and use. Cheers Philip
  9. Hi All Not long ago I finally took my Digilux 2 to a Leica store for inspection and repair. I have always suspected the reason why I got dead black screen and couldn't power on was the image sensor (or whatever reason that everyone else had). The shop examined it and reported that they couldn't fix it because Leica no longer produced the parts for Digilux 2. I know it's my fault to have waited this long to try fixing it, but I've always thought Leica would value its machines well enough to at least keep the capability of repairing them. I don't know what to do now. The shop I brought it in was a legit distributor in Taipei. They claimed they have called Germany headquarters and no luck with spare parts. Should I try Leica Germany again? Or Leica US? Or is there any third party Leica-specialist repair shop I can go to? Perhaps use the parts from the Panasonic counterpart of Digilux 2? Sorry for the rambling. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. HC
  10. Hello, this is my first post on the forum. Am currently reading page 81 of 117 pages on this thread so I don't know if this has already been posted. I am actively searching for a D2 and contacted Leica UK the other day asking about free sensor replacement. Was told by Customer Services that; ' up until quite recently, sensor replacement on the Digilux 2 was carried out free of charge, but as of 2013 this is no longer the case ' So there is now a charge and it was suggested that this would be under £200. My apologies if I am posting something you all already knew...

  12. I have been considering getting one of these, seems like a pretty decent deal at $450 - however no power adaptor, however it will turn on based on battery life. Here are some pics the seller sent me.. what do you think. Seems like it would be a nice cam for street photog! http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2675/4201599997_496f0dc8a9_b.jpg larger but not more clear http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2675/4201599997_9d167b6cb1_o.jpg slightly better view perhaps. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2620/4201599389_ababfd1099_b.jpg again larger but not necessarily more clear. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2620/4201599389_2eb602fdea_o.jpg The only concern I have is that it looks like there may be particulate inside the lens - could be dust on the surface though.
  13. Hi Guys, I am going to a party tonight and I would love to get your recommendations on how I can setup the AW balance manually to work with the built in flash so it doesn't bring a blueish color cast to the pictures. I am using a grey card to setup the perfect white balance for the current lightning conditions, but when I fire the bounce flash, everything get a blue cast. I tried selecting the auto flash White Balance, but it brings an yellow-ish color cast... So far, it doesn't seem possible to get the AW right... Is shooting RAW the only solution for this? Thanks in advance, Carlos
  14. Does anybody know if these two cameras use the same battery? Cheers, Purpledot
  15. If anyone has compared these I would like to hear what you think.
  16. Hallo, das Bild wurde am bislang kältesten Tag des Winters an der Mosel aufgenommen. Viel Spaß beim frieren [ATTACH]180177[/ATTACH] Viele Grüße Christian
  17. Scott Sharp's new Extreme Speed Motorsports team held a private test session at Sebring International Raceway. They uncrated two new Ferrari F430 GT cars.
  18. Should we start hoarding D2s for future sale? Just seen mint one with accessories go on ebay for £1000...!!! Is it going to become a collectors' classic? Bought mine on ebay for about £500 in almost perfect condition. Now that's beginning to look almost a bargain.....
  19. Digilux 2. 28mm, Handheld taken from the car as my wife was driving. Ritz Carlton, Los Angeles is scheduled to open this March.
  20. Help:mad: just can't for the life of me remember the size mm thread on the D2 lens looking fore a neutral density 2 stop filter can anyone recommend where i may attain one please. Me thinks it may have to be a cokin +adapter. Sc.
  21. HI folks. How accurate is the light meter in the D2. Have any of you used a grey card other than indoors. Sc,
  22. The 3-5MB JPEG images from the D2 make workflow in Aperture sooooo much faster than the 10MB+ RAW from the M8. I am waiting for Apple to announce the new MacBook Pro lineup, but in the meantime, Aperture is a pig performance-wise on larger files - it makes PP laborious and not as much fun. I can't imagine what the performance would be on the M9 20MB+ files. Alberto
  23. Folks, I have lost my DC in cable - the one which connects from the battery charger to the camera so that you can power it off the mains without the battery. It says in the manual that it is an EIAC type 3 - but a google search on this is not so helpful. Any idea where I can but a replacement lead, or what part number in maplin / radio shack / etc. corresponds to an 'EIAC type 3'? thanks! Charlie
  24. I've been shooting (and becoming familiar) with the Digilux 2 for the last couple of weeks. When I look at the resulting pictures and compare them to some of the photos I've taken in the past with different cameras, the thing I like the most about the DL2 photos it is the "tonality" (if that's the right term) of the colors (and B&W shades.) As an amateur guitar player (and, ahem, audiophile) I've always paid attention to acoustic tone and now, it appears, I've come to appreciate visual tonality. To celebrate, I took a picture of my vintage Fender Stratocaster with emphasis on its two Tone knobs. The goal was to come up with a visual equivalent of the Strat tone I like and try to get - a combination of "bite" and "attack" (sharpness), with a bit of a rough edge (graininess) and an overall early-Van-Halen "brown tone". The "infinite pool" effect of the guitar body disappearing into total darkness was intentional - to reflect the relatively fast decay of the tone - and was made easier by the Strat's sunburst pain which gets gradually darker at the edges. I am pretty happy with the results and I thought fellow Digilux 2 fans might enjoy it. Comments and suggestions are always welcome of course. Alberto
