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? -

Hello, ok, here there are. At your own risk. For me it works fine. :-) 1) Make sure that you have insert a full battery in your D2! Put a sd-card into the slot and make some pictures. Turn the power "Off". 2) Set the mode dial to "Single picture". 3) Press "Flash" (the small button on the right top of the cam) and "Up" on the cross key simultan, hold them and turn "On" the power. 4) Press simultan "Flash", "Menu" and "Left". Now you are at the error code memory screen. 5) Press simultan "Flash", "Menu" and "Left" again and whoops here are the most interesting infos. The camera information is interpreted below: VER 1.0B : 001D -> Firmware version is 1.0B. NO.: S010XXXXXXXXXX -> A 12-digit number with a "S" prefix. (Motherboard serial number?) PWRCNT: 834 -> Power On Count, the number of times camera turned on. SHTCNT: 5873 -> Shutter Count, the number of times shutter fired. STBCNT: 80 -> Strobe Count, the number of times flash fired. 6) Turn "Off" the power. This procedure works also with the lumic lc1. Have fun :-) Regards Peter

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

I wondered whether you could give me a title please for these two photographs, they are both taken in the same place, but they each have different personal in them .I could have put them up separate and have a different title for each of them .Does anyone else have problems with titling their posts ?

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!!

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... -
As I stated in another thread, my beloved D2 failed yesterday. Only vertical stripes: sensor died. Appearantly Leica is replacing them under warranty because the Sony sensors fail. I read somewhere that only some batches have this annoying problem. I can't find out any more. So here I go: mine is serial 2990xxx. What's yours? Or is yours still OK? If so, what's the serial? -
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 :-)

I currently own a Digilux 2. My only frustrations are maximum focal length (90mm in 35mm equiv), resolution of sensor (OK for 11x14 print) and max ISO (400). As photographers tend to do, I find myself wondering if a Digilux 3 would offer noticeable improvements in those areas, so I am asking those who have used both models to opine. Rich

Hi, I am new this forum - new to Leica. I used to use Nikon F2 for years then Kodak DCS 760 but too heavy and bulky with lots of after processing of raw. So I read the threads for D2 and decided to have one even the short falls and bought a sensor replaced one from Pop Flash. Their service was excellent!. Now my question is a filter on this beautiful lens. I ususally do not put filter on the lens but this is a beautiful one and looks susceptable to contact and marks on the glass. The size of the filter is 69mm which is hard to get one. Would it effect picture if I put 69 to 67 adjustment ring and fit 67mm filter on it? If anyone fit a filter on D2, please share your opinion. Thanks,
