  1. Marine Drive, Mumbai. Also know as the Queen’s necklace. X Vario
  2. Whenever I get the urge to replace my X Vario I re-read this, https://photo.imx.nl/camera/styled-10/. And the urge disappears.
  3. Liebe Leica-Gemeinde, gern würde ich eure Expertise anzapfen für einen nahenden Kamerakauf, bei dem mir die Entscheidung seit zwei Wochen sehr schwer fällt. Vielleicht könnt ihr mir die Wahl erleichtern? Ich möchte die Kamera beruflich und privat nutzen. Im Job vor allem für Architektur und Stadtbild, auch mit Innen- und Detailaufnahmen. Gefragt ist aber keine professionelle Architektur-Fotografie (was ich als Laie auch gar nicht leisten kann) sondern dokumentarische Bilder. In der Freizeit bin ich meist in der Natur unterwegs. Dort vor allem Landschaft, aber auch hin und wieder ein entferntes Objekt oder eine Makro-Aufnahme… Meine Präferenzen: 1. Festes Objektiv! Grundsätzlich reizen mich die kompakten Geräte ohne Objektiv-Wechselei und großer Kameratasche. Außerdem besitzt meine Frau eine Olympus Systemkamera, die ich mir im Bedarfsfall mal „leihen“ kann. Das erspart mir auch den Aufbau einer parallelen Objektiv-Sammlung. 2. Keine Festbrennweite! Zum Heranholen von Details (Natur, Architektur) möchte ich auf einen Zoom nicht komplett verzichten. 3. Verlässlicher Automatikmodus UND bedienerfreundliches manuelles Einstellen je nach Situation. 4. Ich suche etwas Hochwertiges und Langlebiges für die nächsten Jahre und kann bei den zusätzlichen Funktionen auch Abstriche machen. 5. Bitte mit Sucher! Integriert wäre optimal, ein Aufstecksucher ist aber auch in Ordnung. 6. Der Preis sollte die 1000er Marke nicht allzu weit überschreiten. Habe aber auch keine Angst vor Second-Hand. Das führt mich im Leica Sortiment vor allem zu den Kompaktkameras. Ich schwanke daher zwischen der D-Lux 109, V-Lux 114 und der X Vario. Bis auf die X Vario hatte ich die Modelle auch schon einmal in der Hand. Meine persönlichen Einschätzungen: D-Lux + extrem kompakt und reisetauglich - gleichzeitig etwas fummelig für meine großen Hände – wird mit dem zusätzlichen Griff aber sicher besser V-Lux + üppiger Zoom, mit dem man sicher auch den ein oder anderen Vogel oder Fuchs vor die Linse bekommt. Vermutlich das universellste Modell der Drei? - zu groß für die Jackentasche, bin persönlich auch kein riesiger Fan von den etwas klobigen Formen der Bridge-Kameras X-Vario + wirkt aus der Ferne etwas hochwertiger verarbeitet und exklusiver als die Japan-Modelle, für mich optisch das schönste Modell der Drei - zusätzlicher Sucher nötig, etwas puristische Ausstattung im Vergleich Ich hoffe euch mit dieser ausführlichen Frage nicht zu langweilen und freue mich über jeden Ratschlag – ob fachlich fundiert oder ganz spontan und subjektiv. Mir ist auch klar, dass ich (vor allem bei dem Budget) an der ein oder anderen Stelle Kompromisse eingehen muss. Habe ich vielleicht sogar ein passendes Modell übersehen, das vielleicht nicht alle, aber die meisten Bedingungen erfüllt (evtl. auch mit Wechselobjektiven)? Liebe Grüße aus dem Norden
  4. Having noticed that my (wonderful) new Vario tends to overexpose more often than I'm used to, I decided to test the camera's light meter using the Sunny/16 rule. Using a high quality 18 percent grey card in direct sunlight, I made a series of measurements that raise more questions than I myself can answer, so I'm hoping some of you may be able to help. The idea is that the camera, using aperture priority, should pick a shutter speed equal to the ISO value. Instead, with spot metering, the shutter speeds are double the expected value: ISO 100 : 1/200 ISO 200 : 1/400 ISO 400 : 1/800 etcetera With centre-weighted metering the results are different (though they should be the same, having taken care to fill the frame with the grey card): ISO 100 : 1/160 ISO 200 : 1/320 ISO 400 : 1/640 etcetera Now to make things even more complicated, I found that in manual mode, the on screen exposure meter reads zero at a third set of values: ISO 100 : 1/125 ISO 200 : 1/250 ISO 400 : 1/500 etcetera With this final test, there was no difference between spot and centre-weighted metering, which presents us with yet another riddle... Can anyone explain this? Or try to replicate these results with their Vario, just to rule out that I have a faulty item? Also, I'd welcome advice about adjusting exposure strategies in light (pun intended) of these irregularities. I use spot metering most of the time, and my thinking about exposure is largely in terms of Adams' Zones.
  5. As I new (and proud) owner of an X Vario (shame on XVarior and Guytou for getting me the itch ), I am currently experimenting with color rendition, high ISO, controls, ... and I stumbled on this this morning. Just look at the bottom right and it looks like an incidental source of light (there were none) or specular reflection. Sun (hidden by a thin layer of clouds) was above my left shoulder at 90° with respect to the shooting direction. 1/2000 s, f/3.5, ISO 100 at 28 mm The lens hood is the JJC LH-XV, as recommended by Waloszek in his excellent review. So, could this be lens flare or flare induced by the lens hood ? Anyone having already experimented this ? (Of course, I didn't immediately notice that and therefor didn't try without the hood)
  6. Knowing I'm preaching to the choir, just wanted to say how much of an absolute joy the X Vario has been. On Sunday, my wife went into early labor and I grabbed the X Vario as the camera to use in case my daughter was born early. As it turns out, she was and the XV performed amazingly. The NICU where my newborn daughter currently resides is very lowly lit. The slow lens was not a problem and focus was spot on in all situations. Battery life was good, and unlike my M, it was nice to be able to hand off the camera to a nurse for the family photo. Also, the recently purchased FlashAir card made downloading and then emailing photos from the hospital through Photosync a cinch. The card is noticeably slower than my Sandisk Extreme, but the ability to download photos immediately was, in this instance, priceless. I sold the T to get the XV and have to say there are no regrets. The camera has been such a joy to use, and under the difficult circumstances of the past few days has proven its metal in one of the most important events in my life. It will be my trusty companion for many occasions to come! AG
  7. Hi everyone. Just bought an X Vario and I normally use a lens hood. I can't find any of the original or JJC replacement 18774 available anywhere. Does anyone have any experience of other hoods at all? I was wondering if the LX100/D-Lux hood would work without vignetting for example. Any suggestions?
  8. Many owners have experienced a broken battery clip with their X1, X2, X-E, X Vario or X camera (the small grey plastic retaining clip inside the battery compartment). Leica service in The Netherlands was kind enough to send me a new clip for free. While putting it in, I looked for a way to prevent this from happening again. I think the problem is caused by the rather heavy battery which, after a few years, is too much for the quite fragile clip to handle when the camera is put down on a solid object such as a table or other impacts. There is a space of a few mm. between the clip and the inside of battery door. The battery door does not support or hold the battery, but only covers the compartiment. The clip takes full impact of the battery mass on each impact. Because of this design, after a few years the clip usually breaks. An easy way to prevent this is to attach a small piece of sticky foam rubber on the inside of the battery door. The foam rubber pushes the battery up and relieves the clip. Any impact is cushioned by the rubber damper. Ergo; no more broken battery retainer clips.
  9. Does anyone have any Thumbs Up type of solutions that work well on the X Vario? That beautiful, heavy lens out front is leaving me with the desire for a bit more grip for my thumb. I already own the hand grip and I have a finger loop on the way, but nothing beats a thumbs up, at least in my experience. Open to any and all suggestions though - thanks.
  10. I visited STEAM museum in Swindon UK, one of many visits over time, to experiment with hand-held photography using higher ISOs than is customary for me. Much to my surprise, and it was well before Christmas, all exhibits were draped in tinsel. So here is my contribution wishing you all a Very Happy Christmas. (X Vario, full aperture, ISO 1250; hand-held; LR5) N.B. For non-Brits, Brunel was a famous pioneering railway engineer who founded the original Bristol to London railway and built his engineering works in a former little village called Swindon, roughly mid-way along the line. Swindon is now a very large English town with no railway workshops. The remaining buildings mostly form a busy Outlet Centre for designer goods, apart from the museum.
  11. Little more than a month ago, during my visit to LA, I went to the Leica Store Los Angeles to see the store many photographers talk about, also to discover the Leica X Vario. when I got there, I immediately understood why that store was so loved by those who have visited it. it's an extraordinary visual and emotional experience. I also understood why Leica has called the X Vario a Mini M, simply because it felt like one. I loved that tank feeling of it in my hands... but wait, that was not everything. Mr. Tom Smith from Leica US Akademie came to me to ask if I could join him in his coming Leica X Vario Discovery event planned to take place next day! I came back, and had a blast using and shooting with a Leica for the first time in my life. i did it all in B&W, all manual and i was amazed buy the result! here it is... Hope you'll enjoy it. PS: That's the day during which I became a happy Leica Owner Here's a link to the album. Hope you'll like it. Leica Store Los Angeles - a set on Flickr
  12. Hallo Leica X Vario Freunde, gibt es noch Alternativen zum EVF 2 ? Oder muss man mit 400,00 € in den sauren Apfel beißen ? Durchblick
  13. I have been shooting the x vario for two weeks and am very happy with the results I've had thus far. Yesterday the XV suddenly displayed a green line on the left 1/8 th of the view finder (olympus Ev-2) and shots had a blue saturation! I turned the camera off and the issue disappeared. Any ideas out there? Do I have a defective sensor? Has anyone else run into this problem? Your help is much appreciated.
