Cronanirl Posted March 3, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 3, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) My first post I had a drive with an X1 today, am considering selling Thorsten and John Thawley to fund one for myself. (well, you have to have 2 and the names are obvious) I'm a huge D2 fan, they have helped me re-discover cameras and the smile they put on your face. I have a DL4 and this is the camera I carry every day. I guess the X1 is being considered because it would possibly be used a lot more than the D2's They are complete sets, boxes, all accessories, renewed sensors for both. I also have a few spare batteries, a charger, three or four ND filters and one UV filter as well. I'd be much happier if they went to forum members as opposed to the bay. Any advice and opinions would be most welcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsrockit Posted March 3, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 3, 2010 If you are a huge DL2 fan, I think you should at least keep one of them. Also, depending on where you live, you may not be able to get the X1 right away. Things to consider. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc247 Posted March 3, 2010 Share #3 Posted March 3, 2010 The D2 and DL4 were the gateway drugs into Leica for me. I have used both extensively with great satisfaction and very familiar with their strengths and limitations. You should ask yourself the following questions before committing to changing your gear: 1. Will you be able to shoot with a fixed lens 35mm camera all the time? 2. Do you print large? If not, the larger sensor/mp won't really matter 3. Low-light/indoor shooting? If you do it a lot, then the X1 will be much more useful. The controls, build, and IQ on the X1 are all excellent. But you would have to be able to live with the obvious limitations of not having zooms or the smaller form factor of the Dl4 (which is not much but still noticeable). Hope that helps.

Cronanirl Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share #8 Posted March 5, 2010 Second D2 can be found in the buy and sell section Thanks to Virgil for a great transaction yesterday Sorry Thorsten, but after careful consideration and testing, the X1 is the camera for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronanirl Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share #9 Posted March 5, 2010 You will be posting - and paying - for an ad in the buy/sell forum won't you? I've placed both in the buy/sell section, after today's experience on the bay, this is the only place I will ever sell Leica gear, very reasonable cost too.
